His connection with Chelmsford apart from the pub is when he was presented with a Sword of Honour at the Shire Hall in 1879 and in 1903 when he received the Freedom of the Borough again at the Shire Hall in recognition of his promotion to Field Marshal.

Crealock Arms, Littleham, North Devon

"The Crealock Arms" public house was opened in the mid '70s by Claude and Joyce Nicholls to popular acclaim. It rapidly became the 'Inn Place' to be and has been well supported for many years. There had not been a public house in the village since 1923, when "Hoops Cottage" was then "Hoops Inn".
I believe the "Crealock" was so named because a member of the Crealock family had lived in Shutta Farm, at one time. They also had a Farmhouse where Oldfield and Langerton Manor now stand. I remember this as a semi-ruin, where cows were allowed to browse around - and beautiful crafted plasterwork was still visible on the ceilings of the downstairs rooms. It should have been preserved and restored - but it was not to be - and it was converted into the 3 buildings we see today."

Must have a photo.

I hesitate to post this - for fear of upsetting Martin Cooper - as he will say it was 24th (2nd Warwickshire) Regiment of Foot. Nevertheless I found it amusing - over the bar in the Black Lion in High Street, Lampeter in West Wales is this poster:

Did u know?.................

* The first brewer in the world to produce beer in tins was the Felinfoel Brewery, here in Wales for the Welsh Borderers during the Zulu Wars. Michael Caine & Stanley Baker were well pleased! "Not a lot of people know that!"
