Granby The Marquis of Granby. A public-house sign in honour of John Manners, Marquis of Granby, a popular English general (1721-1770).
The Times says the old marquis owes his sign-board notoriety "partly to his personal bravery and partly to the baldness of his head. He still presides over eighteen public-houses in London alone."
Old Weller, in Pickwick, married the hostess of the "Marquis of Granby" at Dorking. Source: Brewer's Dictionary.
