Tucked away in Union Street in Salcome is the Fortescue Inn.
The large pub sign seen here, which can be seen down Fore Street, carries the Fortescue coat of arms.
The family has an history going back to when they arrived in England in 1066 with William the Conqueror
and legend has it that one Sir Richard le Fort saved William’s life by shielding him from his enemies
and thus the family motto “Forte Scutum Salus Ducum”, a strong shield saves the kingdom.

A well as the large pub sign (seen here) the Fortescue inn sports a double sided sign which can only be seen from Union Street.
This side again shows the Fortescue coat of arms.
The family has an history going back to when they arrived in England in 1066 with William the Conqueror
and legend has it that one Sir Richard le Fort saved William’s life by shielding him from his enemies
and thus the family motto “Forte Scutum Salus Ducum”, a strong shield saves the kingdom.
The other side of the sign seen here carries a Fortescue portrait.
