Description
The oldest public house in Southampton, The Red Lion is located in the cities bustling High Street. Dating all the way back to 1148 the walls of the building hold many secrets and tales.
Henry V held the trial of the three men who tried to assassinate him in the pub's 'Court Room' which is a fine example of the half-timber structures of yesteryear. Prior to the King sailing to Agincourt from Southampton Richard, Earl of Cambridge, Lord Scrope of Masham and Sir Thomas Grey of Heton were all found guilty of trying to take the King's life. The conspirators were found guilty and executed outside the Bargate in what is one of the most famous trials in this country's history.
