I bet my g.granddaddy, John PAVITT, had a nickname, he who
fathered 21 children!
Sadly, I didn't get to hear what it was........... Pavitt the
rabbit, maybe?

: I may not have mentioned, Dave - and anyone else interested in
this part of Essex - the nickname of the Arthur Goody you found.
According to one of my books about Tiptree, he was a tall, skinny
man who lived at Maypole Villas near the pub and locals knew him
as 'Pole' Goody.
:
: The nicknames which seem to have been rife in this part of
Essex - Maldon, Tiptree, Tollesbury, Blackwater estuary
villages - especially in coastal areas among the fishing and
boating community, fascinate me.
:
: Old Pye, Old Stubbins, Shaver Mills, Sooty Mussett, Hobby
Keeble, Gunner Cook, Pinky Hewes, 'Admiral' Wyatt among them.
:
: Anyone else have any examples of nicknames from this or other
parts of Essex?

: Essex Pubs shows an Arthur Joseph Goody as the landlord from
October 1894 to around 1925. There is also a copy of the Tenancy
agreement between the owners (the Trustees of the Earls Colne
Grammar Schools ) and Arthur and it also carries Arthur's
signature. If I read Pubby's site correctly, Arthur would have
taken over from his father William who only seems to have held it
for a short period.
