NB. The notes, below, made by Stephen Sartin, are erroneous. The Golden Lion that existed in 1650 stood in Cheapside, and when that place closed, the name was adopted by the King's Head Hotel in Friargate. Oddly enough, the details regarding the King's Head, came from Stephen Sartin who purchased a set of legal documents relating to it. When Stephen Sartin died, I deposited the documents at the L.R.O. where they can be seen today. The details, below, were written before the acquisition of the documents.
