Pub history
This pub takes its name from Sir Ronald Wates (1907–86), whose family funded the original building. A British builder and property developer, Ronald played a central role in expanding the family firm – Wates Group. In 1966, he and his brothers founded the Wates Foundation, supporting social, educational and community causes across the UK. In 1975, he was knighted for his charitable and philanthropic services.
