Red Lion (2) - sign, The Green, Cassington
The Red Lion remains the most common name given to public houses. The name derives from King James VI of Scotland, who inherited the English throne in 1603, on the death of Queen Elizabeth. He became King James I of England, and to reinforce his authority to rule, he decreed that all public buildings (including taverns) must display a heraldic red lion in a prominent position. This resulted in many pubs acquiring the Red Lion name. This particular Red Lion pub probably wasn't around in the 17th century, but the tradition of giving this name to pubs seems to have carried on for a long time. According to The Inn Sign Society's website, there are thought to be about 600 Red Lion pubs.
