The Grayshott Society have commissioned a further blue plaque for Grayshott. This plaque commemorates the opening of The Fox and Pelican in 1899.


The plaque and a framed information board explaining the history of the Fox and Pelican was unveiled by the Chair of The Grayshott Society Lady Haddon-Cave.
The blue plaque was made and donated by Grayshott Pottery and the information board was created with the help of the Grayshott Archive Group who worked closely with Phil Bates, their Chairman and is Vice Chair of the Grayshott Society.

Lady Haddon – Cave said: " We are thankful once again for the generosity of Grayshott Pottery and to Robyn Clark for making yet another blue plaque to recognise our village history."
She went on to thank  Kim Bibby, Manageress of The Fox and Pelican for their support of the Village community and Phil Bates for coordinating and organising the unveiling
