R. Bridgewater and M. Laithwaite partly recorded the former inn in Red Lion Yard, and revealed a stud-and-panel screen with wide shouldered-head doorway (now removed to the Highwayman public house, Sourton) on the west side of the cart passage from Fore Street. On the west side of the courtyard was a range with a two-centred arched stone doorway (now blocked), and inside, a late medieval granite chimney-piece with splayed jambs shouldered inwards at the top.
