The Box Inn became a private house in 1967. The property is now called Box Inn Cottage. In Wilfred Merrett’s book ‘Pubs of the old Stroud Brewery’ he mentions that in the summer of 1943 the landlord of the Box Inn put down a wooden skittle alley at the back of his house for the benefit of the American GIs who were encamped in large numbers near Minchinhampton.
