      Vine Tree Inn (Source unknown) - The Vine Tree enjoys panaromic views over Stroud towards Rodborough and Selsley. It is still successfully trading and is now owned by the Pubmaster group. The pub garden in front of the pub was once a well tendered vegetable patch. Ceci Sharp called into the Vine Tree on April 9th 1908. He might have had one or two pints of Stroud Brewery Ales with Henry Bassett, the landlord, and persuaded him to sing. Cecil Sharp recorded Henrys rendition of 'the Rigs of London Town'. Cecil Sharp must have one of the best jobs in the world..ever, cycling to superb unspoilt English pubs in Edwardian England, sampling the local ales and collecting folk music. Henry Bassett cannot have been that melodious, however, as the annual rateable value decreased when he was landlord at the Vine Tree. In 1891 the rate was 9.10s.0d. which had fallen by a pound to 8.10s.0d in 1903. Map reference SO 830068.
