Red Lion Inn

The Red Lion Inn is a long, single-story building with an attic, dating back to the 18th century, constructed from whitewashed rubble stone with a slate roof. A large stone stack is offset to the left, topped with a brick cap. The section to the left is rendered with a brick end stack. To the right of the stone stack are two gabled dormers, each featuring a four-pane horned sash window. A similar sash window is located on the ground floor to the left, with a timber lintel above. The main entrance is offset to the right and features a door with arched ribs, set under a long timber lintel that extends to the right, covering a window opening with a 20th-century casement window. The left-hand section of the building has a planked door to the right and a late 20th-century window to the left, both protected by shaped hoodmoulds. A gabled dormer with late 20th-century glazing sits above, and a small skylight is situated to its right.

The north gable end has a weather-boarded gable containing a four-pane sash window, with a lean-to structure below and a slate roof. The south gable end also features a four-pane sash window, offset to the left, on the upper story. Below is a lean-to garage accessed from the front. To the rear of the building is a 20th-century single-story flat-roofed lean-to, with an advanced porch to the left. The rear roof pitch is covered with corrugated iron, and a single flat-roofed dormer is present. To the left is a long, single-story rear wing constructed from rubble stone, with a corrugated iron roof and a brick end stack. A 20th-century porch is on the south side, and the windows have 20th-century glazing. The gable end of this wing is faced with red brick, and a single window is on the north side.

Entering the inn leads into a cross-passage, originally divided by a screen partition on the right. The sole-plate of this partition remains beneath the bar, and a later partition has been inserted to the left of the entrance. A significant feature of the interior is the survival of three cruck-couples, located on either side of the cross-passage and at the left end near the fireplace. The cruck blades of the central truss have been thinned below the tie beam. The large hall fireplace has stop-chamfered stone jambs and a timber bressummer with straight-stopped chamfer. A door to the right leads to the later unit. The hall contains a single cross-beam with a narrow chamfer and a flagstone floor. At the north end of the hall is a 19th-century straight staircase with a blocked doorway to the east. Box framing is retained on the rear (west) wall of the bar, which is now an internal wall due to the addition of a rear wing in the 19th century.
