Open in the High Street since 1851 as far as I have gone back so far, and still operating in 1939, but as yet I don't know when it closed. Local knowledge appreciated.

Situated right next door to the local stores it was known as "Nutwood House" in 2009 and is another private residence.

With there being another "Red Lion" at near by Dunks Green and another "Red Lion" at Borough Green, there may be a little confusion over the licensee list at these three pubs.
