Description
The Red Lion Inn is a public house built in 1665, designed in the Fen Artisan Mannerist style, with alterations made in the 19th and 20th centuries. It features red brick in English bond, is rendered, and has a concrete tiled roof with two projecting gabled stacks. The building is two storeys plus a garret, with a three-bay front that includes a plinth, rusticated quoins, and gable bands. The central bay is advanced and gabled, with a central bow window flanked by single two-light glazing bar casements, and a 20th-century planked door to the left. On the first floor, there are three similar windows, all with segmental heads. The gable displays a stone plaque inscribed "John Drury 1665," topped with a gable pinnacle. To the left of the front is an advanced single-storey service block with a glazing bar casement. The right-hand gable features projecting bands, one of which is above a vanished opening. Inside, the building retains some chamfered and stopped beams, as well as the original oak pegged roof beneath a later 20th-century roof.
