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.

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