On 13th August 1881, Ye White Hart Companie, while renovating and altering the old building, made a number of finds: human bones and Elizabethan period tobacco pipes under the floor, and old swords and a ship’s chart under the roof. They were put in the possession of antiquarian Alderman Symons. The company also seems to be responsible for creating the myth that the Plotting Parlour was the place where it was agreed to exclude King Charles.
