JohnEBoy Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 I always wondered about this intriguing yet un-PC sounding name. Without knowing the exact history, I'm guessing that it literally means that the heathland countrside there was as black as a Moor, as the title possibly derived from Crusader times (the third being c.1187-92)? If this is so, who named it so? If not, what is it's origins? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichardB Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 Blackamoors Head, 25 High Street (aka Grey Horse) - implies a human, maybe ? Trophy of Battle ... Girdler family, 1675, Aldine Court + only two other known keepers, very poor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
