John visited Great Tew on July 21, 2005 to kill some time before a Formula Student meeting at the Renault F! factory nearby. He had a recollection of the name Great Tew from either the Lilliput Lane models or the Good Pub Guide. In fact there are 3 LL models there and one of them is a GPG pub! and the rest of the village is charming as well.

Lilliput Lane's "Merry Christmas" is based on The Falkland Arms which appears in the "2008 Good Pub Guide".

Formerly known as the Horse and Groom, the pub is located on a site that has been home to a public house for at least 500 years . IoE  251869
