Red Lion [NAT]. <3> The Red Lion Inn, on the N side of the road opposite (13), was built probably early in the 16th century, on an L-shaped plan with the wings extending towards the E and N. In the 18th century another wing was added on the E, making the plan half H-shaped. The front and back of the main block have been re-faced with modern brick. Inside the building, the ground floor has moulded ceiling-beams, on the first floor are two original fireplaces with stop-chamfered jambs and four-centred heads; one of them has been blocked, and above both are traces of fleur-de-lis decoration, now covered with wall-paper. <4> Original HER entry merged with NRHE data transfer.
