==Local connection==
Following the GWR's policy of naming locomotives after locations near its lines, 4930 is named after the country house of Hagley Hall, located five miles from [[Kidderminster]]. Whilst being transported by road from the Designer Shopping Complex in Swindon back to the Engine House at Highley in June 2007, the locomotive briefly visited the estate. The country house is the home of Viscount Cobham, and in 2012 the 12th Viscount Cobham accepted an invitation to become patron of the Friends of Hagley Hall.<ref>[http://www.4930hagleyhall.org.uk/news/news.html Friends of 4930 Hagley Hall - News (November 2012)]</ref> In March 2013, one of the original nameplates of off the locomotive was permanently loaned for display in the Engine House by Viscount Cobham.<ref>[http://www.4930hagleyhall.org.uk/news/news.html Friends of 4930 Hagley Hall - News (March 2013)]</ref>
