A pub on the A615, south of Buxton. The name Pomeroy ? "The Pomeroy name is most closely associated with the family of de la Pomerai, adventurers who came to England during the imposition of Norman rule under William the Conqueror and who were rewarded with more than fifty manors in the English West Country. The seat of the family was Berry Pomeroy castle, near Totnes, now under the care of English Heritage." from http://www.one-name.org/profiles/pomeroy.html. So how did a hamlet in Derbyshire get this name ?
