The Red Lion Public House

The Red Lion Public House is a public house that likely dates back to the early 16th century, originally serving as a coaching inn. It underwent alterations and extensions in the 17th and 19th centuries. The building features a three-cell lobby-entrance plan and stands two storeys high, with some areas having attics. It is constructed with timber framing and plaster, while the left-hand gable, built in the 17th century, is made of red brick and includes a gable chimney. The roof is thatched and hipped at the right end, with a thatched gable casement dormer. A central chimney made of red brick dates to the 17th century. The windows are small-pane sash windows from the 19th century, and there is a 20th-century pantiled gabled entrance porch with a boarded and battened door. Inside, the central hall features a complete early 16th-century crown post roof, with two open trusses that have cambered arch-braced tie-beams and square crown-posts. One of the crown posts has braces to the collar-purlin and long rising braces from the tie-beam. A large chimney was added in the 17th century, likely in the position of a former cross-passage, creating the lobby entrance. The left-hand cell, which is now a restaurant, may be an early 17th-century extension of the original building.
