Red Lion Cottages

A row of cottages dating back to the 17th century, with earlier elements on the left side; these were remodelled in the early 18th century and then refronted and altered in the early 19th century. The cottages have a timber frame with brick infill to the rear, set on a limestone rubble plinth. The right gable wall is of chequer brick dating to the early 19th century, while the front is rendered except for the four bays on the left, which are of coursed limestone rubble. The roof is thatched, with brick end and ridge stacks, most of which were rebuilt in the early 19th century, though the ridge stack on the left is original to the 17th century. The plan form is unclear. The cottages are one storey with an attic, and have an 11-window range. The left-hand four-bay range, dating back to the early 18th century, has a brick segmental arch over the plank front door, two 19th-century two-light casement windows, and a blocked window to the left. A 20th-century dormer casement and two 19th-century two-light half-dormer casements complete this section. The rest of the front includes three plank doors, 20th-century casements, and two similar 19th-century casements, alongside two 19th-century two-light half-dormer casements. The interior has not been inspected, but is likely to contain features of interest.
