Saracen's Head Tavern.

The Saracen's Head, Snow Hill, now

antiquity. In "Dick Tarlton's Jests"
it is referred to as the SaraceD's
Head without Newgate," and Stow
calls it IA fair and large inn for re-

eminent interest. however, is natural
ly Dickensian, and the novelist has
given a vivid description OF the old
inn as it was when Nicholas Nickleby
and his uncle interviewed there the
master of Dotheboys Hall There are
various accounts Of the origin of the
sign of the Saracen's Head. One is
that it was set up as compliment to
the mother of Thomas a Beckett, who
was the daughter of a Saracen. In
Selden's Table Talk" we read, when
our countrymen came home from
fighting with the Saracens
