The Red Lion Public House, Freshwater, Isle of Wight

            I'm probably missing a trick here because it's not a sponsored shot and i'm not getting paid in golden ale to post it, but i do like to eat and drink there now and again and i think it makes a nice shot with All saints church leaning into the frame (i love a bit of wide-angle distortion :)

The pub is a former 3 bar coaching inn dating back to the 11th century

All Saints church Freshwater is one of the oldest on the Island and is listed in the Domesday survey of 1086, and could date back as much as 300 years before that. Extensive alterations were made to the church in the 12th and 13th centuries and the tower dates from the 15th century.

In common with the rest of Freshwater the church has links with the Poet Laureate, Alfred Lord Tennyson; the present treble is dedicated to him and the clock chimes composed by Sir John Stainer are called "The Tennyson Chimes".
