Description
The Red Lion Public House is a house that has been converted into an inn, dating from the early 17th century and mid-17th century. It features a timber frame with red brick nogging and has been partly rebuilt in red brick, with an extension in dressed red sandstone and a slate roof. The framing consists of small square panels, with short straight corner braces. The building is L-shaped, comprising five framed bays that are positioned at right angles to the road, with a later wing added to the northeast. It has two storeys and a gable-lit attic, along with an additional storey and attic.
The northeast front includes an external lateral brick stack that is off-centre to the left at the rear. This stack features a 19th-century brick shaft with pilaster strips, central open diagonal brick decoration, and a 20th-century cap. There are three first-floor windows and two ground-floor windows, which include mid-19th-century one-, two-, and three-light wooden-framed cast-iron lattice casements. To the right, there is a 20th-century boarded door with small flanking windows and an enclosed late 20th-century gabled wooden porch. The gable end facing the road has a three-light lattice casement on the ground floor and a two-light lattice casement on the first floor. The jettied gable, likely restored in the late 19th or early 20th century, features a moulded bressumer on cusped brackets and a truss with two collars. There is also a two-light 19th-century cast-iron lattice attic casement.
The northeast wing has two large gabled semi-dormers with three-light wooden casements and planted timbers, along with a large central integral lateral brick stack at the front that has pilaster strips and central open diagonal brick decoration. The ground floor includes three 20th-century diamond-leaded wooden casements. Inside, the building has chamfered beams and a pair of large open fireplaces with chamfered wooden lintels.
