Description
The Ram Hotel is a hotel that dates from the early 19th century, with a central core from the late 16th century. The main part of the building has four windows, is two storeys high with attics, and is timber-framed, covered in 18th-century painted brick with a string course at the first floor. It features a concrete tiled roof with casement dormers and an axial chimney made of red brick. The windows are small-pane sashes from the 19th century, each with wooden lintels. There are two 19th-century splayed bays with flat roofs and small-pane sashes. The entrance door is half-glazed and panelled.
To the left, there is a single-cell extension from the 19th century made of rubble walling. To the right, there are two early 19th-century ranges. Range A is one window wide, constructed of rubble with brick quoins and dentil eaves, topped with a concrete tiled gambrel roof, and has small-pane sash windows along with a six-panelled entrance door featuring an oblong fanlight. Range B is two windows wide, made of painted brick, with a concrete tiled roof and small-pane sash windows, and has an entrance door with eight flush panels, reeded pilasters, and a flat canopy. The late 16th-century core likely consists of three cells, featuring ovolo-moulded floor beams and a large central chimney.
