Full Description

{1} The Red Lion potentially dates to the early 17th century. The outbuilding recorded by this historic building recording most likely dates to the early 19th century when the pub was operated alongside the landlord's farming. The building began as part of a larger linear range of agricultural buildings, most probably a cow hovel or milking parlour. When, in the mid to late 19th century, the pub operated as a standalone inn the building was most likely converted to stabling with a coach house within the westernmost bay. In the 20th century, documentary evidence suggests that at lease part of the building reverted to being a cow shed.
