    OK....

    1) the answer is on the web
    2) Break question into three (pub)(field habitat vegetated by primarily grass and other non-woody plants )(became the home for some very special ancestors)
    3) Why would we think these ancestors are very special?

    The field habitat part is a meadow I think.

    The pub could be the name of one, or a general term such as an inn, or out here advertising.

    Ancestors to be special could be because they are related to us.

    Mmmmm. Not much nearer I feel. ;)

    Could it be The Horses and the Hornets? A Parable about the World that talks about special Hornets in a meadow.

    Anything to do with the Red Lion? The Pilgrim Fathers? Port Meadow? Jimmy Meadows? Neanderthal man? Gracie Fields?

    Thought I'd try the scattergun approach...
