Built-in CE 1145 in a village named Wotton-under-Edge in Stroud District. Ancient Ram Inn was used as a residence of the priests of a nearby local church named st mary's church. Not only priests but this building also housed many slaves, masons and other workers who were constructing the nearby St Mary's Church.
After its usage as a residential place for the workers and masons, this building continued its usage as a residential place for the priests for a long time until it was later converted into an inn and a public house and from the 1960s to present the Ancient Ram Inn is private property.
