The Hut (or Hutt) Temperance Hotel, near Newstead Abbey, Nottingham Road A60, Ravenshead, c 1905

Nottingham Road A60
Ravenshead
England

Built opposite Newstead Abbey, the original building was recorded in 1400 as one of the Royal Huts put up in Sherwood Forest by King John, used to house the men patrolling the forest to protect the King's deer. A tunnel leading from the Hutt to Newstead Abbey was used during the late 17th Century and it is said that the ghost of a monk remains who travelled through the tunnel before being chained to a wall and left to perish!
