From Wikipedia
The word 'hart' is an old alternative word for "stag" (from Old English heorot, "deer" – compare with modern Dutch hert, also "deer").

From Wikipedia
White Hart: The emblem of King Richard II of England. It became so popular as an inn sign in his reign that it was adopted by many later inns and taverns. Richard II introduced legislation compelling public houses to display a sign, and at one time the White Hart was so ubiquitous as to become almost generic, in the same way that we call a vacuum cleaner a Hoover today.
