Red Lion Public House

The Red Lion Public House is a late 15th-century building that originally featured an open hall between two crosswings, which was replaced in the late 17th century by a two-storey block with attics. The size of the original hall suggests it was once part of a manor house. The structure is timber-framed and plastered, with a low brick projecting plinth and red tiled gabled roofs. A red brick chimney is located on the central range, positioned one third from the east end and features two diamond shafts that have been rebuilt.

The public house has a long two-storey frontage with lower, broad jettied crosswings at each end. The center of the building has three adjoining small gables and is jettied at a higher level than the crosswings. There is a 19th-century one-storey flat-topped, off-center, canted bay projection with corner posts and a cornice, which is infilled with sash windows and a central pilastered double door. Each gable on the upper floor has one flush boxed sash window with 8/8 panes, topped with 19th-century pierced and shaped bargeboards. The center gable lacks a window but features a large wrought iron bracket that supports a swinging signboard.

Canted bay sash windows are located below the overhang of each crosswing. The end gables and one small gable display large identical relief panels of a lion rampant surmounted by a crown. The west crosswing extends to the rear and is covered in black weatherboarding. There are lateral chimneys on each crosswing with renewed diagonal shafts. On the east end, a small gabled porch is supported by similar 19th-century curved brackets and trefoil pierced spandrels, which also support the front jetty.

Inside, exposed timber framing is visible on the east wall of the west wing, and there is a blocked four-light window with diamond mullions in the south end of this wall, which once overlooked the lower roof of the original hall. The timber framing from the 17th century features tension braces and arched braces with a shallow curvature. The first floor exhibits distinctive inn-planning, and the current 19th-century stair remains in its original position. A bolection-moulded fire surround can be found on the first floor of the central range. The Red Lion Public House is part of a group with No 3 and the Clock House.
