Description
The Old Lion Public House is a public house that was formerly a blacksmith's shop. It features a partly early 19th-century refronting of a late medieval core on the left side, and a late 19th-century cross wing on the right. The building is constructed of red brick with cogged brick eaves, and has plain-tile and slate roofs. There is an axial brick ridge stack on the left and an integral eaves stack on the right. The structure has an L-shaped plan, consisting of a three-cell rectangular block that runs parallel to the street, with a cross wing to the right.
The exterior is two storeys high with an attic. The street front has, on the left, an early 19th-century two-storey, three-window range featuring 3/6 sash windows with brick cambered lintels on the first floor. The ground floor has twin 2/2 sash windows flanking a single central 2/2 sash window. To the left, there is a 19th-century partly glazed panelled door with a round-headed fanlight above it. On the right side, the slightly projecting gable end has a single five-light late 19th-century mullion and transom window on each storey. The rear of the building is obscured by later extensions.
Inside, there are vestiges of a cruck truss blade encapsulated in the east wall of the cross wing.
