Our house (as in the house I grew up in, back in the 1950s) had a very
early ring circuit as it was built in 1949 or thereabouts. It
definitely had fuses at each end of the ring. Whether that was as it
should have been or just how the electrician (my father I think)
thought it should be I don't know.

When rings were first introduced, people used to make them from 2 15A radial circuits joined together.

I don't know how officially-sanctioned that was or for how long.

It was part of the original rationale for the design.

Was each circuit fused for the whole ring, or half?
