David McKie explores some of Britain's most evocative spots and their local heroes. A visit to a village pub in Pembrokeshire unearths the story of its former landlady, the extraordinary Pamela Cushla le Poer Davidson. Her colourful adventures included performing as a nude trapeze artist in Soho and fleeing from the unwelcome advances of Hitler's Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels.
