Behind the scenes[[edit] | [edit source]]
Though no pub is known to have existed by this name, the Papplewick Arms corresponds to the real-world village of Papplewick, which is indeed located in Nottinghamshire.
The fictional pub's real world equivalent is called The Griffin's Head, which dates back over a century before this story's setting, and which continues to operate into the present day[update].
