The owners of a popular pub have given it a £90,000 refit — including sprucing up one of Blewbury’s historic cob walls.
The Red Lion, in Nottingham Fee, has undergone a facelift, paid for by owner Brakspear, since new tenants, Bob Hurst, 59, and his daughter-in-law Amanda Evans, 37, took over in September.
The brewery repaired the wall because it runs alongside the car park.
Believed to date back to Saxon times, the clay and straw wall is covered with thatch to protect it in wet weather.
