This sign would not have been used during Cromwell's Commonwealth of the 1600's, but gained popularity after the restoration of the monarchy.

The particular arms used on a pub sign will vary with both the date of the original sign and also perhaps with the date of a replacement.

This pub also offers a bas relief version of the sign on the wall.

The King's Arms is a more popular name than The Queen's Arms.
Name of Artist: Not known.
