Historic Interest
Originally built in the 16th century by the local Parish council serving their own ale to the faithful community, The Red Lion has fascinating history and has maintained much of its character. Inside you’ll find original wooden beams that are over 400 years old, real open fires and flagstone floors. The first account of the Red Lion is a rent receipt dating back to 1629, which was £1 for ‘rent of the churchouse’. The church owned the Red Lion right up until it was sold in 1948. The local Parish built the Red Lion pub over 400 years ago. It was common practise for churches to create church houses as meeting places for the community where they could buy ale brewed by the church to raise funds for maintenance and to help the poor. Historically, ale was an everyday drink and often safer than water. The church house was not open every day as an inn would be, only when the church celebrated religious ceremonies.
This Pub serves 2 changing beers and 2 regular beers.
