The present Red Lion was built on this site in 1837 replacing an earlier inn that was purchased by the Corporation of Thetford early in the 17th century and probably stood where the War Memorial is today. |

The earliest reference that I have found to the Black Horse is 1770. It was then occupied by Johnathan Newell, a local lime burner whose kilns were situated close by where Lime Kiln Lane is today. |
