Apropos of yesterday's in London, attending the show in 2003 resulted in my learning of the existence of the Armorial Bearings Tax. (The Worshipful Company of Tax Advisors had people dressed up to represent various historical taxes)

A decade later this became the subject of my MLitt dissertation.

If you want to find out more you can read "Arms and the (tax-)man: The use and taxation of armorial bearings in Britain, 1798–1944." on Humanities Commons:
