The Bhurtpore Inn in Aston dates from around 1720, and was so named in 1826 to commemorate the Siege of Bhurtpore at which local landowner Sir Stapleton Cotton (later Viscount Combermere) was Commander-in-Chief. A former pub in nearby Wrenbury was named Salamanca Hotel after another victory (see Image). See http://www.bhurtpore.co.uk/history.htm
