Robert Raikes' House, Grade II* listed pub and historic house in Southgate Street, Gloucester, England
The timber-framed structure features original wattle and daub panels, large windows from the 19th century, and seven rooms across different levels.
Built in 1560 as a merchant's residence, the building housed the Gloucester Journal publishing operations from 1722 under Robert Raikes the Elder.
Robert Raikes the Younger conducted Sunday school sessions in the garden during the 18th century while his wife served plum cake to participants.
The establishment welcomes families until 9 PM, provides wheelchair access throughout all areas, and maintains designated facilities for disabled visitors.
Following a £4.5 million restoration in 2006 by Samuel Smiths Brewery, the building reopened in 2008 as a pub with preserved 16th-century elements.
