Légende

End of Room at the Red Lion Inn, Barnstaple, [Devon], 1850. 'The arched design represents that end of the room which is unmutilated. The ornaments of the other end, together with a small part of the ceiling, have been destroyed in forming a passage...it will be admitted that this is a choice specimen of old English taste and skill...Lyson, in his "Magna Britannia" (Devon), says, "The Golden Lion...is said to have been a town-house of the Earls of Bath. The arms of the Earl of Bath and other arms are in a large room of this house which has an ornamented ceiling. It was certainly the property and the residence of Sir Nicholas Hooper, Sergeant-at-Law in the reign of Queen Anne, and from whom it passed to the Bassets, and was sold by the late S. Basset, Esq".' From "Illustrated London News", 1850.
