Description:The Red Lion stood in the south-eastern corner of St Peter’s churchyard in Stoke. It was demolished in the early 1970’s to make way for the A500. The facade was taken down brick by brick and rebuilt in the Tramway museum at Crich in Derbyshire. Photographed by Terry Norton.
The red Lion was built on the site of an earlier inn. It was not uncommon for churches to have inns close by to accommodate those travelling to the church.
