The Red Lion was situated at 7 High Street and dated from medieval times. John and Edward Churchill were the publicans in 1830 when a bodysnatcher was arrested on the premises, having left the corpse on a cart in the courtyard. The pub was demolished and replaced with a Woolworths that opened in 1931. After the store closed in the 1980s the building was converted for use by a building society and a retail outlet.
