Walking home from Temple Meads today, I saw that Easton has given its own verdict on the proclamation.



Of course, I can't approve this, as it's been several generations since a king of England employed a Groom of the Stool.

The title lasted until the twentieth century (just), modified to the more decorous-sounding 'Groom of the Stole' - but I'm not sure who was the last person to get down and dirty with it.
