Description
The Red Lion Inn is a public house dating from the late 16th century, with an early 19th-century wing added to the right side of the original 'L' shaped plan, indicated by the projecting gable at the left end. The building is two storeys high and features timber framing with plaster, while the 19th-century wing has a colour-washed brick façade. It has a plain tiled roof with decorative barge boards and a red brick stack of squared, diagonally set detached chimneys.
The central gable includes a three-sided oriel window with casements and a semi-circular transom. On the ground floor, there is a three-sided bay with sash windows in flush frames, glazing bars, and a cornice above. The 19th-century wing has sash windows in flush frames with glazing bars and gauged flat arches. The main entrance door is blocked and features pilasters and a bracketed canopy. A lion's head sign, dating from around 1740, is believed to be a ship's figurehead from the Battle of Sole Bay.
Inside, the inn has an ornamental plaster ceiling.
