Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Lions Head, The Common, Middle Winterslow The got its name from the following incident. It is believed that on the evening of Sunday, 20th October 1816, a lioness attacked the offside leading horse of the Exeter to London mail coach. The guard was about to aim his blunderbuss at her when a menagerie owner shouted to stop him and managed to retrieve the lioness with the aid of his dog. The passengers took shelter in the inn until the beast was securely loaded in its caravan and taken to Salisbury Fair. The wounded horse, Pomegranate, had to be replaced, with its owner receiving compensation and the magistrates ordering the menagerie owner to secure his dangerous creatures safely. I also believe this story is recalled by essayist William Hazlitt.
