Red Lion Cottage

Red Lion Cottage is a house dating from around 1570, featuring two storeys and a two-cell lobby-entrance plan. The structure is timber-framed and plastered, topped with a thatched roof. It has a 16th or 17th century axial chimney made of red brick, with the shaft largely rebuilt in the 19th or 20th century. The cottage includes 20th century casements and a boarded entrance door, along with a 20th century pantiled verandah supported by posts. The late 16th century framing is fully exposed and typical of the period. There is evidence of diamond-mullioned shuttered windows, with one window having a blocked ovolo-mullioned window inserted into it. Inside, the cottage features a wind-braced clasped purlin roof and a lintelled open fireplace from the 17th century in the hall.
