A little about the history of The Red Lion Hotel:
Originally the ‘White Bear Inn’, the building was constructed to house the draughtsmen working on the new Cathedral – (in fact Salisbury’s or Old Sarum’s third Cathedral building) when the churchmen of the time ‘fell out’ with the military garrison on the hill-top castel at Old Sarum.
When the basic construction was finished in the late 13th Century, the ‘White Bear’ continued to house visitors to the Cathedral and subsequently the ‘New City’ of Salisbury.
It is therefore probable that the Hotel is possibly the longers running purpose built hotel in the country (perhaps the world?)
The Hanging Creeper in the Courtyard is believed to be one of the oldest specimens of its kind in Europe, it is the true ‘Virginia Creeper’.
This particular vine is thought to date from the late 18th Century.
During recent refurbishment of the original wing of the Best Western Red Lion, a medieval fireplace was exposed. Believed to date from around 1220 AD, it is surmounted by a magnificent stone carved fire mantle and is of similar construction to a fireplace at Old Sarum, the site of the original Cathedral.
