Description
White Lion House is a building that originally served as a cloth hall and is now a shop. It dates from the late 15th century or early 16th century and has been clad in the 19th century, with alterations and extensions from the 18th, 19th, or 20th centuries. The structure is timber-framed, with red brick on the ground floor and tile hanging on the first floor, while the rear is rendered. The roof is plain tiled and features a projecting gabled return wing to the left. There is an end stack to the right, 19th-century decorative bargeboards on the left-hand gable, and a hipped dormer on the left slope of the return wing. The building has two storeys and attics, with an irregular three-window front that includes glazing bar sashes and a full-width projecting later 20th-century shop front on the ground floor. At the rear, there is a two-storey half-hipped wing from the 18th century.
Inside, the ground floor has been cleared for a supermarket and features a boxed-in frame with iron supports. The timber frame is visible on the first floor and in the roof, which has a heavy scantling collar purlin roof, although no crown post is visible.
