Let's hope the pub has a longer life than its namesake.

Marston's plc has applied for planning permission for various advertising signs at their new pub on Paxcroft Mead.

Full details can be obtained from the planning department at the Bradley Road offices of Wiltshire Council.

The parish council's response will be decided at its meeting next Tuesday evening.

I presume that the name has been chosen as it's in keeping with the intention of how the various roads on Paxcroft Mead were to be named i.e. after field crops and insects or the old 'tithe' field names from the 1800s.
