It was first noted as a pub in 1815, known variously as the Half Way House Inn, the Red Lion or Morton Woodhouse. The sale inventory of 1864 described the property as the Red Lion Inn, a brew house, coach house, stables and homestead set in 17 acres. {1} It is unlikely that the current building dates back to the 17th century, as it is not listed. {2} The Dovecote (Red Lion Inn), Swinderby.
