house ceiled to 3 cell with lobby entry, single cell addition centre rear. 2 storeys, projecting bay left lit only by

casements, groundfloor 2- and 4- light casements left of entrance, 4-light to right, good imported C17 door, gabled
thatched rustic porch. Interior not viewed, said to contain at North end fireplace with scroll stops to lintel, blocked
stairway to left with oven behind and large circular chamber to right of fireplace with corbelled stone roof,

This building was recorded as the Ram Inn in 1675 and by 1785 was known as the Half Moon Inn, but ceased to be an inn
circa 1860 when the Notley Arms (qv) was built. (VCH Somerset, Vol 5, forthcoming; VAG Report, unpublished SRO,
