"Ashby" is a word of Anglo-Danish origin, meaning "Ash-tree farm" or "Ash-tree settlement".[1] The Norman French addition dates from the years after the Norman conquest of England, when the town became a possession of the La Zouche family during the reign of Henry III

It's a long while ago Shelley. There was a pub called The Duck and Hedgehog - we had an extremely large meal there one night!!! Good value and good food. Can't remember exactly where though ..............

I love the names of English pubs. Scottish ones tend to be much less interesting. 'The Brown Bull', 'The Oak Inn' etc.
