The earlier Royal Oak is shown on the Tithe Apportionment and was immediately south of the present one and was sold to Mr John Roope Cranch or his son William Cranch, builders who owned the adjacent property. They pulled it down and built Oak House on the site.
The earlier inn is described as having a projecting porch supported by granite pillars (one of which lies in Oak House garden), and may have been of some age and importance.

The old Royal Oak was bought and closed down by a religious factor keen to close all the pubs in South Brent. The new Royal Oak was shortly after constructed directly adjacent to the site.
