2009 : The Knatchbull Arms, Stoke St. Michael
The question sprang to mind "what is a Knatchbull?" It seems I was not the only one, it was answered in: http://www.sunriseag.net/adoptapub/more/0042Knatchbull.htm
"Well, courtesy of a transatlantic telephone call, we solved it: It is a family name. The Knatchbulls are of course a well-known English blue-blood family on the Mountbatten side, and have a substantial manor nearby. Norton Knatchbull, Baron Romsey is actually 523rd in line for the throne, though I doubt if he has contingency plans just in case he is called upon. The Knatchbulls are in politics and education and have eight other family members on the long royal list."
