More about this scene

The Red Lion (right) dates from c1580, and has an oriel window similar to those on the Ancient House in Ipswich. The pub figurehead gave rise to the phrase 'As red as a Martlesham lion'. Opposite are the early 18th-century Red Lion Cottages, which have the same barge boards as the pub. The whole frontage has now been railed off from the road.
