The RED LION HOTEL - Fakenham
c1915 - As the LION HOTEL.

Described as a Tudor coaching inn.

It is recorded that in 1778 a gentleman offered to meet workers here who had complained of high prices. The gentleman ordered bread and beer for the 300 souls that turned up, but then, instead of redressing their grievances, he told them that their meeting was illegal. The ensuing fury led to the breaking of several windows and the hasty retreat of the said gentleman.

Parson Woodforde dined here 14th September 1787 and described innkeeper Dade as a Somerset man.

A Post Windmill at Gt Snoring was offered for auction here
on 13th April 1826.

Shown on Bryants 1826 map.

In 1830 the coach the HERO called at the CROWN & the RED LION every alternate morning, except Sundays, at 6:00an on route to London.

John Howlett is given as licensee in Pigot & Co's directory of 1830.
The house was refitted for R. Riches in 1830, so it is assumed that Mr Riches took over from Mr Howlett at about that time.

House used as Council offices from 1976 to September 2000.
