Description
The Red Lion is a public house that dates back to the early 18th century and has been altered in the 20th century.
The building features pebble-dashed and colourwashed flint and brick, topped with a roof covered in pantiles. It faces west onto the Market Place and has a wide rectangular plan with a long rear north wing.
On the exterior, the two-storey structure has a pitched roof with an internal gable-end chimney stack on the left side and another stack on the rear roof slope. The ground floor is illuminated by four two-over-two-pane horned sash windows, which are set within slightly recessed openings that have cambered heads. A 20th-century wooden door with upper glazed panels is located between the third and fourth windows. The first floor has three similar sash windows positioned directly beneath the eaves. A decorative cast iron swinging sign support extends from the eaves between the first and middle windows.
Inside, the ground floor has been opened up into a single space in the late 20th century.
