The Ancient Ram Inn

The Ancient Ram Inn possesses a genuinely chilling aura, not to mention a reputation that is so menacing that many local people won't even walk past it at night.

The building is thought to date from around 1145, and it has been suggested that the workmen who built the parish church opposite were lodged here.

It served for a time as a priest’s house before converting to an inn.

Its last pint was pulled in 1968.

Once it had closed for business John Humphries purchased the building from the brewery. He fought a perpetual battle to save the historic structure, right up until his death in 2017, irrespective of the endeavours by former residents to interfere as much as possible.

The moment you enter the old inn, an aura of dreadful foreboding envelopes you. The bare walls, creaking floorboards, steep stairs and mysterious shadows are sufficient to elicit the coldest of shivers; whilst the legions of ghost stories that come marching from its mist-shrouded past can chill the blood of even the most steadfast cynic.

 

There is little doubt that the spirits and demons that reside within the walls of The Ancient Ram Inn are extremely active.

It is a place where nightmares abound, and is certainly not for those of a nervous disposition. But to cross its threshold is to step back in time, and the chance of an encounter with one of its many ghosts is not to be missed.

Experience an overnight ghost hunt at the Ancient Ram Inn, the most haunted building in England. The Ancient Ram (no longer a pub) is uniquely historic and is the oldest building in Wotton-under-Edge, Gloucestershire. It is known as one of the most unique properties in the region and has had its fair share of strange history and mystery, plus a host of unique residents.

You can book these events on their official webpage where this information has been obtained.
