The Red Lion is a beautiful pub situated in the rural Lincolnshire village of Digby. The name is the commonest name for a pub in the UK with around 630 pubs so called. Most Red Lions originate from the reign of James I. Already James VI of Scotland when he ascended to the English throne in 1603, on arrival in London the new king ordered that the heraldic red lion of Scotland be displayed on all buildings of public importance - including taverns, of course. The sign of the red lion was, however, already known as the personal badge of John of Gaunt, the Duke of Lancaster, son of Edward III.
