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.

The Lion's Head, The Common
The pub reputedly owes its name to an incident in 1816 when the Exeter to London mail coach was attacked by a lioness which had escaped from the Ballard's travelling menagerie which had stopped for the night on the nearby Salisbury Plain. As the attack happened, the terrified postal workers fled to the pub and barricaded themselves inside (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2115758/Day-Exeter-mail-coach-held-LION-200-years-ago.html The Mail on line).
