Rebuilt in 1830, the name suggests that this was once a public house and there is a reference to it existing as the Red Lion by 1521. It was catering for waggoners by 1800 and is recorded as having pleasure grounds until the beginning of the 20th century, (information from British History Online). It was converted into a garage and currently carries out services, tyre changes, exhaust and clutch replacements. It used to supply petrol as well and the location of the pumps is still visible as a slightly raised area on the plinth in front of the shop, (just left of centre).
