The Red Lion Public House

The Red Lion Public House is a public house dating from the early 17th century, which was remodelled and extended in the 18th century. The building features a timber frame that has been refaced and extended in red brick, with Flemish bond at the front and English garden wall bond at the rear. It has plain tile roofs with gabled ends, and brick axial and gable-end stacks, including a large lateral stack on the rear wing with diagonally-set shafts.

The main range has a three-room plan, with the centre and right rooms now combined into one large room. The right room is heated by a gable-end fireplace, while the left room is separated by a brick wall. There is a wing to the left that has a lateral stack on the side. In the 18th century, the building was encased in brick, with the front wall rebuilt forward and a parallel range added at the rear. A single-storey extension was added in the 20th century.

The exterior is two storeys high with a three-bay front. It features 12 and 16-pane sash windows in moulded flush frames with brick cambered arches, and a 20th-century porch on the left. The eaves have brick dentils. At the rear, there is a gabled wing projecting on the right and a parallel range on the left, which includes casement windows and a 20th-century single-storey extension.

Inside, the centre and right-hand rooms are now one space, with the right side featuring a chamfered cross-beam, deeply chamfered joists with straight-cut stops, and a large fireplace with an unchamfered cambered timber lintel. The centre room has a deeply chamfered axial beam with hollow-step stops, while the left room has an unchamfered axial beam. The rear wing includes a chamfered axial beam with cyma stops and a lateral fireplace with a chamfered cambered timber lintel also featuring cyma stops. In the first-floor chambers, some of the frame is exposed, including jowled wall-posts and a closed central tie-beam truss.
