Information Board outside the Grouse & Ale, Lane End

The information board is on the east side of the Grouse & Ale Inn in High Street HP14 3JG. It has the following wording: GROUSE & ALE The Grouse & Ale, formerly the Clayton Arms, was built in 1679 as a manor house by Sir Robert Clayton, Knight and Lord Mayor of London after the fire of London in 1666. A wealthy influential city merchant who with his accumulated wealth was able to lend £30,000 to King William III, started life as the son of a small farmer in Northants. It was his brother's family who actually lived at the manor house until it was brought by Robert Scott of Danefield in the early 18th century. By the late 19th century the Clayton Arms was occupied by the family of Fred Goodchild, organist & chair maker and in the yard was the sawmill and grinding business. The motto for the coat of arms 'Virtus in actione' means 'Manliness is in the doing'.
