Another Bear....

Hopefully this will load.....second time lucky?

This one is in Hungerford and has recently been refurbished.

The origin of the name "The Bear": The name of "The Bear" or "The Black Bear" is thought to derive from the "Bear and Ragged Staff" - the Crest of the Earls of Warwick, who were Lords of the Manor in the 15th century. According to legend, one ancestor of the family was known as "The Bear" for having strangled such an animal with his hands, while another ancestor used a young tree as a club with which to slay a giant. The Bear was known as the Black Bear during the 19th century to distinguish it from the White Bear further along Charnham Stre
