Occupied the building currently (early 2020s) housing Sweet Memories and Best Estates. It's first mentioned in 1633, though the present building seems to date from about 1767. Its last mention as an open establishment is in 1775; in 1789 it's described as "formerly the White Lion". The name subsequently transferred to what had been the Angel up until then.

The Grade 2 Listed Building on the pub's site only dates from early in the 19th century, so the pub must have been demolished.

Another White Lion on Smallgate was built in 1774.
