I recently received an email from a Ms Penny Morris, who tells me that her great great grandfather G.H. Smith used to frequent the Clayton Arms in his cycling days for tea. it was run at the time by a Mr. Churchill, who he mentions in his history. "In those days the "Clayton Arms was run by Churchill, a fine specimen of mine host, old and white haired, yet straight backed, bright eyed and active. He dressed in rich brown velveteen and had a grand manner as well as appearance; one felt when there as if one were the guest of the Squire at some ancestral hall."
