The Red Lion Hotel dates back to the 17th Century and is a grade two listed building. It was already an inn in 1667 when Landlord John Racee issued his own tokens. The Angel Hotel, next door and now closed, was the Barkham family home in 1597. It became an Inn in the 18th Centuary and Sir Edward Barkham was Mayor of London 1621 - 1622. In 1732 a later Edward Barkham left the family Wainfleet Estates to Bethlem Hospital in London.
