"And far from the glamour of the darting world, they have chosen to play on the town's literary heritage by naming a small side room after JRR Tolkien – who is believed to have written much of Lord Of The Rings while downing cask ales in what was The Green Dragon."

That's The Green Dragon in Leek, Staffordshire.

Hmm - perhaps that's where the Company of the Green Dragon got their name. Or perhaps not.

Hmm ... I think I'll go with the, "perhaps not."
