Horror film from the early 80's

I am trying to remember the name of a low budget horror film from the 80's, around 1980. All I vaguely remember is it was about a couple (poss Americans) who end up in a huge English stately home. I cannot remember why they were there, but whilst they are there strange and gruesome things start happening. One particular scene I remember is an old man standing in front of a open log fire. The fire billows out and him and he catches alight and subsequently burns to death. His burnt remains are then dumped outside, and a pack of Rottweiler’s eat most of what is left of him. Someone then walks up to the pile and removes a smouldering finger which has a ring on and is significant to the story. Any ideas?

Have you tried the IMDB website? http://www.imdb.com/
Have you tried The Internet Movie Database (IMDb) ? www.imdb.com it's good for this kind of query
I'm pretty sure that it was The Legacy. I remember that six people including an American couple at a country house. All were given a ring (which couldn't be taken off) and one by one they suffered horrific deaths until one was left to claim 'the legacy'.

YEEESSSS!!! It was the legacy. Just found it on Youtube. Didn't remember Roger Daltry being in it!! Thank you guys.
Don't know why, but the death of Roger Daltrey's character freaked me out and stayed with me for years. But then again I was only about twelve when I watched it.
That perm would give anyone nightmares.
True! :-)

I was ony 12 when i watched it too. My mate was the only one with a video recorder, so we managed to bag some horror films from the local newagent (who didn't bother asking our ages!) when his parent were out. We hired this, The Squirm (rubbish) and the Exorcist which scared the living bejesus out of me!
