The Granville Arms - a wasted opportunity.
Quite near to where I live there used to be a public house called The Granville Arms. I believe that it has now been converted to part hot food takeaway and part residential use but when it was in its dying throws it displayed a pub sign which heraldically was one of those really frustrating missed opportunities. Whoever had the bright idea of depicting the arms as a coppice of trees I’ll never know? Sadly this isn’t the only armorial sign that has lost its heraldic significance through ignorance.
