I knew it was the Golden Grove... I just didn't spell it that way!

There is a pub in Lychett Minster, Dorset, with a name most people think is totally modern and silly - St Peter's Finger. It's actually older than the building which is at least 200 years old, and is a corruption of St Peter ad Vincula. It's known in the local area as 'Pete's Digit'.
