The Davenport Arms in Woodford, Cheshire bears the coat of arms of the local gentry. They had the right of summary execution of anyone caught trespassing in their woods. The point was graphically re-inforced by the felon's head with a noose around it, mounted above the shield on said coat of arms.

Consequently, the pub is known by the locals as the 'Thief's neck'! (or simply the 'Thieve's')
