Old Red Lion

The Old Red Lion is a house that was formerly an inn, dated 1684 on a tablet above the door. It is constructed of coursed rubble stone with a tiled roof and brick stacks at each end. The building features coped gables and ironstone kneelers. It has a deep wooden eaves cornice supported by scroll brackets, with three brackets between each window and two at the ends, some of which are adorned with carved acanthus ornament. The structure is two storeys high with an attic and consists of five bays of leaded cross windows, some dating from the 17th century, alongside some modern replacements. There are flanking half-bays with transomed single lights. The central entrance has a modern door with a wooden panel above and a segmental arched hood held up by acanthus scroll brackets. To the left of the door, there is a painted inn sign featuring a crown, a red lion, and a wheel between the upper windows. At the rear, there is an outshot with a moulded ironstone kneeler and a staircase in a gabled projection. The upper right room contains panelling with a 17th to 18th-century moulded fireplace and a panel above it, flanked by pilasters and a cornice.
