This was "The Old Lion Inn" where the gunpowder plot conspirators met on 5th November 1605 to await news of the destruction of Westminster. Upon the arrest of Guy Fawkes their plan to seize Princess Elizabeth from nearby Combe Abbey was abandoned and the rebellion which led to their defeat three days after the 5th was planned by the conspirators here at the Lion. To commemorate these connections this old inn goes by the name - GUY FAWKES HOUSE (Dunchurch Parish Council AD 1951)
