The Red Lion Inn

The Red Lion Inn is an inn built around 1730, constructed of red brick with ashlar dressings. It features a half-hipped Bridgwater tile roof and has two stacks on the rear roof slope. The building is tall and formal, standing three stories high with a seven-window front arranged in a 2-3-2 bay pattern. It has a parapet and a large plain brick semi-circular pediment. The base includes an ashlar plinth and raised piers made of banded brick and stone that flank the center and outer angles of the principal floors. There is a heavily moulded coved ashlar cornice over the first floor, which is broken forward over the piers, and plain ashlar piers on the second floor. The moulded parapet has coping.

The windows are segment-headed and set in raised moulded stone surrounds with keystones. The second floor has six-pane windows, the first floor has twelve-pane windows, and the ground floor features mullion-and-transom windows. The central entrance consists of panelled double doors within a large similar surround, topped with a hood on brackets.

To the left of the inn is a small two-storey and attic house from the 18th century, which has an ashlar front, a dormer, recessed cyma-moulded two-light mullion windows, and a moulded cornice over the ground floor. This house has two windows on the first floor and three on the ground floor, with the right window replacing a door. There is also a mullion-and-transom stair light on the rear wall.

The rear of the main range is constructed of rubble stone and features a three-window range of two-light cyma-moulded flush mullion windows. A large southwest rear wing, also in rubble stone with a stone slate roof, includes two dormers and a five-window range of two-light cyma-moulded flush mullion windows. Inside the front range, there are chamfered spine beams and a large stone fireplace at the west end. The rear wing contains a mid-18th century staircase with square newels, turned balusters, and brackets to the treads. Upstairs, at the west end, there is a bolection moulded fireplace.
