"Red Lion" House, former public house. 16th with 17th century and late alterations, including restoration in the 20th century after a fire. Recorded as a public house in 1715. (RCHM 13) Grade II. <1>
The Red Lion Inn was built, probably late in the 16th century, on an H-shaped plan, with the cross-wings at the north-east and south-west ends. Both wings were extended towards the south-east in the 17th or 18th century. Under the main block is a cellar with brick walls. Inside the building is an old ledged door of moulded battens. The upper floor has an original roof-truss, of which the heavy cambered tie-beam and the wall-posts are visible; the braces have been destroyed. <2>
