The Curious Name
extract from Reminiscences of Winchcombe
... One house intervened, and then at the corner of the lane came a farm house, the tenant being a Holiday, of the Holiday and Page family of Cheltenham. Holidays's bull, kept in the top yard, was a terror to us children. Then Mr. Charles Richardson took it and applied for and obtained a license to sell beer and cider in the late sixties. It really is the newest licensed house in Winchcombe. A man named John Greenhalf jocularly remarked "Let us call it the Corner Cupboard." It had no name before and it has gone by that name ever since from the fact that almost every angle of the house at the time had a corner cupboard, every one being fixtures I believe.
