Description

The Red Lion Inn is a large public house with attached outbuildings, dating from the 18th century, 19th century, and early 20th century. It is constructed of cob on a stone plinth, rendered, and features gabled-end roofs covered with clay plain tiles. The building has a double depth design, with the front range including a right-hand end wing and a left-hand garage or outbuilding extension. The rear range likely incorporates the earliest part of the structure and faces Queen's Square.

The inn is two storeys high throughout. The front elevation has a four-window range with 2-light casement windows above, each light containing eight panes. On the ground floor, there are two doorways at each end flanking two windows; one of these windows features two early 19th-century sashes, each with eight panes and margin panes. There is one end stack to the left and two to the right, all with brick shafts. The wing was remodelled around 1900, featuring a jettied gable with red clay tiles hung above, and one 2-light casement window on each floor.

To the left, extending from the main building, is a two-storeyed garage or outbuilding, which has a roof tiled in a fish scale pattern and is half-timbered. This structure has two extended roofs on either side that project forward on brackets beneath a central hipped gable. The right-hand end of the building curves around to the rear, maintaining two storeys but at a considerably lower height than the main ranges. The rear includes one external stack with a brick chimney shaft, a gabled upper window with two lights, and to the right, a separately gabled cross wing accessed by external stone steps, which features two 2-light windows with glazing bars on either side of the doorway. The inn is included for its group value.
