Description

The Red Lion is a public house dated 1678, constructed from colourwashed brick and flint, topped with a pantiled roof. The northern section features three windows and is two storeys tall with attics, while the southern section has four windows and is also two storeys high. There is a 1½ storey rear outshut and a single storey 20th-century extension. The facade facing the road includes two 20th-century porches with hipped roofs, flanking a long canted bay window that also has a hipped roof. The first floor has four and two-light 18th-century windows with wrought iron casements. The steeply pitched roof at the north end includes two gabled dormers at the rear and a parapet gable with brick kneelers, tie irons, and a date plaque at the peak. There are side stacks at the rear, one to the north and one to the south, as well as a front stack to the south. The interior is mainly from the 20th century, and the 20th-century extensions are not of special interest.

Local climate

The Red Lion sits in a drier-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 730 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 80% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 92% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 23 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 76% of listed buildings. Of these, 12 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
