GUEST,dotty dill Folklore: Odd pub names (412* d) RE: Folklore: Odd pub names 21 Jul 08

Hi all, I wonder if anyone out there has ever encountered a pub called 'The Fool and Child'. I have a print of an 1646 engraving of Wakefield, Yorks. which has beneath it the inscription 'Sold at he Fool and Child' which I would presume would be a tavern of that time. I can find no reference to a pub of this name anywhere. Any ideas?
