Stretton is a village and civil parish[3] in the county of Rutland, England, just off the A1 Great North Road.

Stocken Hall itself, dating principally from the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, was used as the prison farm from the 1950s until the 1980s and is now converted into apartments.

[citation needed] The Ram Jam Inn (former Winchelsea Arms), situated on the Great North Road next to a service station, is just inside the parish of Greetham.

It was bought by the then-owner of Stocken Hall, Major Charles Fleetwood-Hesketh (1871–1947), in the 1920s, who transformed it into a well-known roadside inn.

Edward Bradley (rector of Stretton, 1871–83), who wrote as Cuthbert Bede, and who paid for its restoration, is buried in the churchyard.
