White Lion Public House

The White Lion Public House is an inn complex that features a two-part storeyed inn building and an adjoining L-shaped former stable or agricultural range, creating an overall U-plan layout. The structure is built with local rubble, with the right-hand section of the inn made from roughly-squared stone blocks. The southern gables and the walls facing the courtyard are rendered and painted white. The roofs are slate with tiled ridges, and the inn has simple end chimneys, with the southern chimney being rendered. The rear has a gabled lateral section with a tall stack.

The inn building consists of a main three-bay section on the right, which has a central entrance, and a two-bay section on the left, separated by a masonry break, with an additional entrance on the right. Both entrances feature framed, boarded doors with cambered heads and modern iron canopy porches. The central window on the ground floor, located between the entrances, is a 19th-century 12-pane unhorned sash, while the other ground-floor windows are similar 9-pane windows. All ground-floor openings have cambered heads with rough-dressed (painted) limestone voussoirs and projecting stone sills. On the southern gable, there is a 6-pane sash window on the ground floor.

The adjoining agricultural range has its northern side against the raised churchyard bank and features four plain ventilation slits facing the church. On the western return, there are two large modern windows, one of which occupies a former entrance opening and has a segmentally-arched head with painted voussoirs. The rear of the inn range and the western section have modern single-storey additions, including a catslide extension, and a pair of modern wooden gates closes the service court.

Inside, the primary section has a slate-flagged floor and a stopped-chamfered main beam in the bar ceiling, with plain joists. There is a lateral fireplace with a tall opening and a cambered bressummer with run-out chamfer. The adjoining agricultural range now opens out from the inn and serves as an extension to the bar, featuring pegged and bolted tie beam trusses with raking queen struts, one of which is a modern replacement.
