Pub sign outside the Green Man, Colne. The sign shows an image of a Green Man face surrounded by leaves.
"Green Man (
visit link) : a spirit of the wild woods. The original images are in churches as a face peering through or made of leaves and petals; this character is the Will of the Wisp, the Jack of the Green. Some pub signs will show the green man as he appears in English traditional sword dances (in green hats). The Green Man is not the same character as Robin Hood, although the two may be linked. Some pubs which were the Green Man have become the Robin Hood; there are no pubs in Robin's own county of Nottinghamshire named the Green Man but there are Robin Hoods. The 1973 film The Wicker Man features a Green Man pub."

"The Green Man is nestled in the lovely village of Colne in the idyllic Cambridgeshire countryside.
The pub features a traditional wooden beamed bar, a separate family restaurant and a cosy lounge bar with a traditional multi-fuel burner (for those cold winter evenings) and a public bar with a fruit machine, dartboard, pool table & TV. There is a large beer garden to the side of the pub with a large secure children's play area featuring an enclosed trampoline, climbing frame, swings, slide, and games. There are plenty of tables and chairs at which to enjoy our fresh home cooked food, fine drinks selection and take in the good weather (we cannot promise the good weather)."
