The Royal Oak

The Royal Oak is an inn dating to the late 17th and early 18th centuries, with additions from the early 20th century. It is constructed of rubble stone with a Cotswold stone slate roof and stone stacks. The building is a single range with three gables facing the Cirencester Road. It has a single-story basement and an attic, with three small gabled dormers to the rear lane, where the basement extends to street level. A central porch has been inserted across the middle gable, with porches also added to each side, replacing the original gabled porch. A hipped, polygonal wing has been added to the west end. The front elevation features three windows, with 19th-century sash windows. The inn has been recorded as such since 1781.
