The parish council ebraces the heritage of the area from the legend of Lord Brereton and the bear, in which for his punishment from the King for murdering a man, was to have three days to invent a muzzle for a bear. After three days a bear was let loose on the lord, and luckily for him, the muzzle proved to be successful, and so the emblem for the Brereton's from this day has been a muzzled bear. In more recent times, the council has orgaised a 'bear' hunt in the area, with local residents putting out teddy bears throughout the area during the summer months, in an event entitled 'The Brereton Bear Festival'. A nice day out for young children if you're in the area.
