The Red Lion

The Red Lion is a public house dating from the late 17th century. It features pebble dashed brickwork and a slate roof, standing two storeys tall with an attic and four bays, including a two-storey gabled porch. The building has rear wings on the east side, creating an "F" shaped plan. It has wide sash windows with glazing bars, stone sills, and added shutters. The entrance includes an oak nine-panel door set in an oak panelled porch. There is a large three-sash canted bay window located to the north of the porch. An early sash window at the rear landing features exposed weight boxes, ovolo moulded glazing bars, and 24 panes; one pane has been cut from a larger piece of glass with a scratched prayer reading: "and preserve Prince Charles" and "Amen I prey God." The building has gable end and centre ridge stacks. Inside, the Public Bar showcases a cambered inglenook beam and deep bevelled beams. The staircase is notable for its heavy turned balusters, pulvinated string, and heavy moulded handrail. At the landing level, there are Queen Anne style six-panel doors with a small central panel and chamfered beams. There is also a sealed-off room, which is said to be haunted.
