Welcome to The White Lion Thornbury…

History of the “Lion”
The Lion has been the heart and soul of Thornbury since the 1830’s. Initially called The Lion, it wasn’t until the late 1860’s that the pub changed its name to the White Lion. The publican in the late 1860’s was called John “White”. There was also a pub further down in Castle Street called the Black Lion.
