Hi Tana I think the landlords in that neck of the woods, were all tarred with the same brush. My gt-grandfather, 'Black Tom' Woodford was the landlord of the Windmill Inn, near Shelf Windmill. He got his nickname from having his pleasure with women other than his wife (I've got a photograph of her, so I can understand why he strayed <g>).
