Inn, formerly the Red Lion and the Royal Oaks; amalgamated 1891. C17, much
modified in C19 and C20. Coursed and squared limestone, stone slate roofs. A

Scattered fenestration; the left hall has a 4-pane sash, a 2-light casement and
a 4-pane fixed light; first floor has two 2-light chamfer-mullion casements, one
with stopped hood; between these a single light, then to right a 2-light wood
casement. Off-centre, left, a pair of 3-panel doors; floor level is well below
present paving level. The double gabled unit, right, was formerly a separate
inn, has 2-light chamfer mullion casement above a loading door about 2 m above
