The Triple Plea takes its name from a popular 18th-century satirical motif which appears on prints, ceramics and so on. In it, a lawyer, a doctor and a clergyman each claim to be the others' superior, but each is revealed to be useless unless paid. A version on a satirical print in the British Museum can be seen at LinkExternal link. In the version shown on the pub-sign here, the three professions contend around the bedside of a sick man, with the devil lurking behind presumably in the hope of snatching the invalid when the professionals have proved useless.
The pub itself can be seen at TM3979 : The Triple Plea pub, north of Halesworth and TM3979 : The Triple Plea pub, north of Halesworth; the sign can be seen at TM3979 : Sign of the Triple Plea pub, north of Halesworth and TM3979 : Sign of the Triple Plea pub, north of Halesworth.
