The prosperous hotel at the head of Windermere was known as “The Cock”, but the landlord, in honour of his distinguished neighbour, Dr Richard Watson, Bishop Of Llandaff (1782), renamed it “The Bishop”. An innkeeper close by, who had envied the landlord of “The Cock” for his greater success, realized he could get some of the kudos of his old rival by changing his sign to “The Cock”. It worked well, visitors going to “The Cock” for the reputation now properly of “The Bishop”. The landlord of “The Bishop” rued his error, and thinking he must correct it, wrote in large letters, under the portrait of the bishop, “This is the old Cock”!
