"Ye Olde Red Lion Hotel" Much Hadham Things to Do Tip by Willettsworld

The Red Lion coaching inn, now converted into private houses, has existed in the village since the fifteenth century. It was a stopping point on the old road from London to Cambridge. Legend has it that a tunnel connected the pub to St. Andrew's, possibly built during the time of Oliver Cromwell to serve as an escape route for the clergy. The skeleton of an eighteen-year-old woman was discovered bricked up into a fireplace in the inn. It is thought she died after being incarcerated, sometime during the nineteenth century. My Aunt and Uncle used to live here and my mum often felt a ghostly presence!
