It has been pointed out to me to me that Marshall St in Huncoat is much more recent than Rev Whitaker's era. So I looked up my 1951 directory -= Mr Marshall was a farmer at Back Lane farm.

Still in Huncoat - the Griffin's Head is so called because of the connection of the Grimshaw family with the township.Their heraldic crest is a griffin's head.
