No, that doesn't ring a bell and the stupid thing is that I lived on the other side of the pub from it for several years. Perhaps it was all the beer so I couldn't read the name That was in the early 1960s
I remember in LF (or maybe LE) history Kit was very insistent on the difference between monks and friars. Franciscans (like Carmelites and Dominicans) are friars, in fact they were the Greyfriars. CH was even founded on the site of a dissolved Greyfriars' priory. Detention, I think!
