The inn is 17th century and is named after the Seymour family who once owned part of the village. Until recently, this historic building shook to the sound of traffic thundering by on the main A350 road at the front of the pub. However, the much needed East Knoyle bypass, completed in 1996, has restored peace and calm to the village. East Knoyle is a large scattered village on a greensand ridge and is surrounded by some fine walking country. Christopher Wren, whose father was Rector of East Knoyle, was born in a room above the village shop in October 1632.
