The Red Lion

The Red Lion is an inn located in Northleach, dating from the 16th century with 19th-century extensions. The ground floor features large coursed squared and dressed limestone, while the first floor is jettied with close-studded timber framing and plastered infill. The roof is made of stone slate, with hung tile on the left gable end and a rendered brick chimney stack. The main body of the building has a rectangular plan with several 19th-century extensions at the rear, although a 20th-century flat-roofed extension is not of special interest.

The facade is two stories high with three windows, all of which are three-light metal casements with horizontal glazing bars. The ground floor has two pairs of twin 12-pane sash windows with horns, set within a casement-moulded surround. There is a passage leading to the rear on the right side and an axial stack. Inside, there is a four-centred arched flat-chamfered stone door surround, and it is reputed to contain a bread oven and cellar.
