All.

If you look really closely in the first picture (The Brockett Arms) you can see a pair of Guzzis. One has chrome the other is "blacked out". If you look really, really hard you can read the inscription "In the Doblo I travel".

Isn't heraldry wonderful?

Thank you Hugo.

The pub sign refers to "Lord Brocket". Note,  Only the one "T".
The more I read about these people the happier I am to be unrelated.

I grew up just down the road from that pub and Brocket Hall, we moved away shortly after the old boy got fingered for insurance fraud.
Looking at his ancestors, maybe he was the good egg.
