Karin, bit of a late reply here because I missed this one.
Not a great deal of reflection went into the naming of the
Paul Pry pub in Deadfolk. There was a Paul Pry I drank at
quite a bit when I was growing up, and I guess it was from
that. I just love the name. (I try not to think too much.)
And yes, there are a few Paul Pry pubs around England.
Thanks for reading Deadfolk!
Charlie Williams.
