The Ram Jam Inn was a historic pub in the civil parish of Greetham, Rutland, England, located on the west side of the Great North Road, near Stretton, about 7 miles north of Stamford. It was frequented by the highwayman Dick Turpin in the 18th century, and it is claimed that one of his confidence tricks inspired the pub's name. The pub closed in 2013, and plans to demolish it were put on hold: it was finally demolished in the early 2020s.

Great North Road (Great Britain)
The Great North Road was the main highway between England and Scotland from medieval times until the 20th century. It became a coaching route used by mail coaches travelling between London, York and Edinburgh. The modern A1 mainly parallels the route of the Great North Road. Coaching inns, many of which survive, were staging posts providing accommodation, stabling for horses and replacement mounts. Nowadays virtually no surviving coaching inns can be seen while driving on the A1, because the modern route bypasses the towns in which the inns are found.
