Links Between Pubs and the Church
I threw in an off the cuff comment in the Pub Photography thread which has spawned some additional interest:

The Savile Arms partially does http://www.heavywoollencamra.org.uk/savile.htm / http://www.pubsgalore.co.uk/pubs/40377/. The Ring O'Bells in Kendall also makes the claim: http://ringobellskendal.co.uk/
I then Googled pub church and found this piece in Wikipedia where the pub and church are combined: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pub_church
There are also religious origins of some pub names : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pub_names
and, of course, you can always 'bank' on JD Wetherspoon to convert the use of an existing building into a pub: http://www.jdwetherspoon.co.uk/home/pubs/the-west-kirk & http://www.jdwetherspoon.co.uk/home/...e-church-house
Waes hael!
