Ram Hotel

The Ram Hotel is a hotel located in Newark on Trent, dating from the late 18th century. It incorporates two mid-18th century buildings in its rear wing and has undergone various additions and alterations in the mid and late 19th century, as well as in the mid-20th century. The structure is built of brick and features a plain tile roof, with a plinth, bands at the first and second floors, rebated and cogged eaves, a gutter supported by brackets, coped gables, and both ridge and single gable stacks.

The front elevation has three storeys and a seven-window range of plain sash windows, with painted flat arches and keystones on the ground and first floors. Between the fifth and sixth windows from the left, there is a wrought iron sign bracket. Above, there are seven smaller glazing bar sashes, one of which is blank, and the second from the left has been replaced by a two-light casement. The ground floor features a 20th-century off-centre doorway with a plastic hood, flanked by two plain sashes on the right and three on the left, with two smaller plain casements further to the left.

The rear wing, facing Boar Lane, is also brick-built with a steeply pitched slate roof, featuring a first floor band and a single ridge stack. This section has two storeys plus attics, with a six-window range of glazing bar sashes and a central blank window. Above, there is a raking dormer and two gabled dormers, all with glazing bar casements. The lower level contains six windows from the 19th and 20th centuries.

To the right, there is a two-storey mid-18th century range that was rebuilt in the mid-20th century, constructed of brick with a pantile roof, featuring a first floor band and coped gables. This section has a six-window range of segment-headed 20th-century casements, with three blanks. Below, there is a door and three segment-headed windows. Further to the right, another two-storey range with a pantile roof has incomplete dentillated eaves and a single gable stack, with two blank windows. Below this, on the left, is a reconstructed stone doorway with panelled double doors and an inscribed overlight, and on the right, there are four segment-headed windows.
