Description

The Red Lion Hotel is a house and outbuilding that now functions as a hotel. It dates from the 14th century, with some parts rebuilt in the 17th century, extended in the early 19th century, and altered in the mid-20th century. The building features a timber frame with rendered infill on a coursed rubble plinth, partly underbuilt in rubble, and extended in painted brick. It has an L-plan layout, with a 14th-century cross-wing extending to the north, connected by a short 20th-century link block to a single-bay 14th-century outbuilding. The rebuilt hall range extends to the west and was further extended in the 18th century.

The south front of the hotel has two storeys, with a gabled cross-wing on the right that is underbuilt. This section has a three-light casement window on each floor. To the left, there are three windows: two 2-light casements and one 3-light window. The ground floor features three 3-light casements with plank weatherings. The entrance, located to the right of centre, has a wooden doorcase with fluted pilasters and a flat canopy. Inside the entrance are panelled reveals and a panelled door beneath an overlight.

The framing of the gable end consists of two square panels high, with the two outer panels each featuring a pair of curved braces that form two-centred arches. Above this, the truss has a steeply cambered tie-beam and two raking struts, along with a central vertical strut to the collar. The east side of the cross-wing is jettied, supported by curved braces that rise from pilasters, with the brace at the corner rising from a moulded capital. The first floor has two blocked windows with three trefoil-headed lights and pierced trefoil spandrels. At the north end of the ground floor, there is a blocked doorway with moulded jambs and an ogee head. The outbuilding at the rear is one bay of a larger structure, featuring two pairs of massive cruck blades.
