Redbourne Hall

The name Redbourne is derived from the Old English Name "Hredburna" meaning "reedy burn", a reference to a stream running through the village.^[1]

The parish church of St Andrew was made redundant in 1978 and is now maintained by the Redundant Churches Fund. It is a Grade I listed building. Although the church has 14th- and 15th-century origins, the bulk of the existing building is 18th-century and represents a Georgian Gothic style, using a mixture of squared and coursed rubble limestone with ashlar dressings. Its square tower is approximately 90 feet (27 m) high.^{[citation needed]}

The Red Lion Hotel

The Red Lion Hotel coaching inn dates from the 17th century and is located on the village green.

A conservation area was designated in August 1985 by the old Humberside County Council and covers the historic village core but excludes the more recent residential developments on the peripheries.
