In 1756 seven soldiers were billeted here.
In 1755 The Golden Lion was the meeting place of the Provincial Grand Lodge of Warwickshire (Masons) and again in both 1773 and 1785.
The pub was demolished in 1934 in order to make way for Trinity Street. The cellar of a monastery building was found during its demolition. The Golden Lion is a popular sign, referring heraldically to Henry I or to the Percys, Dukes of Northumberland. | |||
