A farthing (quarter of a penny) token exists from 1652 for the Red Lion, High Holborn. Initials on the token are L. C. S.
The family name of the issuer of the token was possibly Stanton. An advertisement, in 1678, for the recovery of a horse, stolen or strayed from Warwick field, behind Warwick house, now Warwick court, Holborn, referred for reward to Robert Stanton, at the Red Lyon inn, in Holborn.
