Obviously a former pub, and the nearby Red Lion Close and Cottages suggest its name. This might be a red herring, it is called The Chequers on old maps. However, the local authority on discussing the conservation merits of Red Lion Cottages refer to them as being built behind the pub of that name. Perhaps it changed its name. It became a club before WWII. It is a grade II listed building with oldest parts early 16th century, when it appears to have been an ordinary house according to the citation.
