Description
The White Lion Inn is an inn built in 1724. It features pebble dashed walls with a projected painted stone plinth and rusticated quoins. A date stone reads 'HIA 1724', and there is a central winged stone head with 'H IAMES' inscribed to the right. The roof is made of grey slate with coped gables and a blue tile ridge, and there are two chimneys. On the ground floor, there are two sash windows without glazing bars, while the first floor has three windows, with the outer two being sash and a small casement above the porch. The windows are closely grouped in the center of the facade, which may have been altered. At the north end, there is a one-storey, one-window extension with a coped gabled slate roof, and a porch has been added to the west front. There are also late brick additions to the east, but no original internal features remain.
