из того же контекста: Demesne walls bound most of the older establishments in Oxford. These originally delineated the broader grounds of colleges, hospitals or religious institutions. As they developed, the buildings within pressed closer to the edges of the properties. The emerging historical consciousness of the late 20th century meant that some of these walls were preserved rather than destroyed. Architects were obliged to refine their designs so that they entered into a positive relationship with these significant historical boundaries. |

'demesne' is an historical legal term meaning: * 'land, especially surrounding a house or manor' * 'the land or estate belonging to a lord' * 'the land around a mansion; the lands of an estate' – all from Collins Dictionary. It's an Old French word linked to the word 'domain'. .... and the Lamb & Flag is a 16th-century pub in Oxford with the Lamb & Flag Passage running alongside it – but you probably knew that. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lamb_&_Flag,_Oxford
Lots of old pubs in the UK have names which follow the pattern 'the X & Y', eg the Pig & Whistle, the Frog & Fiddle, the Adam & Eve, the Slug & Lettuce, etc. |
