Red Lion House was formerly the Red Lion Inn, and was also the home to children’s animated film maker Oliver Postgate from 1962-1996. The house is 18th century, with two storeys, covered with stucco and a tiled roof (it is a listed building Grade II, NHLE number 1054086). Oliver Postgate converted the public house interior to domestic use in 1962 and also designed and built two houses in the grounds. One to the north for his parents, the socialists Raymond Postgate and Daisy Lansbury, the other to the south an experimental half size test house to demonstrate his own design of solar heating system using air transfer. Hempshall Wood at the rear of the house was the inspiration for the “The Pogles" and “Pogles’ Wood" animated series broadcast on the BBC.
