Description
The Red Lion Inn is a public house dating from the early to mid 17th century. It has two storeys and attics, featuring a two-cell lobby-entrance plan. The building is timber-framed and plastered, with a slated roof that was once thatched. There is an axial chimney made of red brick, likely from the 19th century. The inn has late 19th-century carved bargeboards with spike finials and late 19th or early 20th-century small-pane casements with three lights. The entrance door is a six-panelled design, with the upper panels glazed, located at the lobby-entrance. Inside, plain 17th-century framing is exposed in the bar area. There is a 20th-century pantiled extension to the right and rear, which is not considered of special interest.
