Description
The Red Lion Inn is an inn that dates back to the 17th century, with alterations made in the 19th and 20th centuries. It features a timber-framed and plastered structure with applied timber decoration and plain tiled roofs. The building has a rebuilt ridge stack located to the right of the center, along with a 20th-century end stack on the right side and a rear stack. It is two stories high and has a long jetty extending to the street, with a lower range at the rear that forms an L-shape. The entrance includes double half-glazed doors, and there are three 19th-century canted hung sash bay windows. On the first floor, there are three 18th-century iron casement windows with leaded lights. Inside, some ceiling beams are exposed and chamfered. The Red Lion was originally a farmhouse and was recorded as an inn around 1820. A long jettied range at the rear has been recently demolished.
