Except....that there are suggestions that the area known as Nunhead is named after the Nun's Head Inn, dating from the 18thC, itself commemorating the beheading of a nun during the dissolution of the monasteries, although there is no substantiation for that suggestion.

That's great news! There's a video about the pub too at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Y4v2iLQIhM&list=PLx2QMoA1Th9eaBL5Dn0LJTSBrzd_r4EYL&index=9 which includes a picture of Dave Hammer's band.
Mrs YC and I will try to get along on Sunday. OG threatens to as well, but any hint of trouble, like him trying to sit in on tenor banjo, and we disown him.

[Young Col]

Whenever I arrive at my music tutor's house her black cat materialises in the front garden and goes in with me. Curious thing is that it goes out via the kitchen cat flap.
