King's Gnatton

In the short story The Four Suspects, King's Gnatton is a village in Somerset. Located seven miles from the nearest railway station, it was, according to Sir Henry Clithering, a place singularly untouched by civilisation. It was in this remote place that Dr Rosen, fleeing from members of the German underworld, bought a cottage and settled down, hoping to evade his enemies and continue writing a book.
