Lord Combermere History

Have you ever wondered why certain Cheshire pubs have specific names? There's a rich history behind them, and many of our beloved local pubs bear names related to notable figures, including our own pub, The Lord Combermere.


The Lord Combermere is named after Field Marshal Stapleton Cotton (14 November 1773 – 21 February 1865), a distinguished British Army officer, diplomat, and politician. As a junior officer, he participated in the Flanders campaign, the Fourth Anglo-Mysore War, and helped suppress Robert Emmet's insurrection in 1803. He commanded a cavalry brigade in Sir Arthur Wellesley's Army and later took overall command of the cavalry during the latter stages of the Peninsular War. His impressive career continued as he served as Commander-in-Chief in Ireland and later in India, where he famously stormed Bharatpur—the battle that inspired the name of The Bhurtpore pub—an impressive fortress once considered impregnable.


Nestled in the heart of the village of Audlem, The Lord Combermere proudly serves as a focal point for the community. Located in Cheshire East, this charming village is approximately 7 miles south of Nantwich and close to the border with Shropshire, situated eight miles east of Whitchurch and seven miles north of Market Drayton. According to the 2011 census, the entire civil parish has a population of 1,991. We are thrilled to be revitalizing The Lord Combermere and bringing it back to the center of the community.
