I would be very grateful for any information about this establishment and particularly for advice on how I might discover the origin of its name. It seems to me unlikely that it was named after its landlord, but the 1914 Kelly's Postal Hi David Try _http://essexpub.net/Leytonstone/colgrave.htm_ (http://essexpub.net/Leytonstone/colgrave.htm) for some information - if you find anything more, anything at all, then contact that site owner and he will welcome any update. Pubs which have a name such as The Colgrave Arms would not normally be named after the landlord, but after a local dignitary or famous/philanthropic person. For example there are many pubs called the Devonshire Arms; the Duke of Devonshire commanded his own regiment in the dim and distant past and as his NCOs 'retired', he provided them with a sum of money with which to set up an inn. Many of them recorded this act of generosity by naming the inn after him. The Onslow Arms in Locksley is named after the local land owners, who probably own the land on which the pub is built and as a tenant on his property you don't want to upset your landlord! DaveD
