Red Lion, 42-44 High Street, Colchester
Grade I Listed late 15th or early 16th century inn. The original house was built 1481-2 by the first Duke of Norfolk and the front block added when converted to an inn about 1500. The cellars are thought to be about 1400. The earliest mention of the Red Lion is in 1529, although at that time it was the White Lion. By 1625 the lion had become red probably to mark the accession of James I in 1603. In the Civil War of 1648 Colchester fell to General Fairfax and the beaten defenders were held in the Red Lion yard while their leaders were hastily tried and then shot. Some rebuilding was carried out 1716 and in 1756 it was the terminus for an express service to London. The Red Lion became a Trust House in 1913. Directory entries include; 1855-1874 William Fletcher (& posting house); 1882 Edward Julian Hart; 1894 Henry Edward Heath (& posting house); 1902 Fred Rees (& posting house); 1914 Home Counties Public House Trust Limited, A Lillywhite, manager.
