Old King's Head II

The Old (or Olde) King's Head on Lower Bridge Street was once the house of Randle Holme, mayor of Chester 1633-4. It was described as a 'new building' in 1633. Four generations of the Holme family worked as Chester heralds and historians during the 17th century, and their heraldic memorial tablets are a feature of many Cheshire churches.
