Impressive late Georgian facade block; 17th century rear wing (now part housing).

Repair work required plaster removal. Survey suggests the Red Lion continued to the east, with one open room across the carriage arch continuing further and that this end was removed when the adjacent shop was rebuilt further westwards than before.
