Lamb House: (formerly The Lamb Inn) - a history
Compiled by members of Mickleton Women’s Institute in 1970s:
On W side of Milking Pail Lane, off High Street opposite Mickleton Garage, camera facing NW.
Original cottage rubble stone, extension at N end in brick. Roof now all tiled but older part originally thatched. Half timbered gable at S end, one dormer. 2s. Casement windows. Fire Insurance mark (District) on beam over first floor window at S end. One doorway blocked with brick. Whole cream washed.
The ground floor room at the S end was originally the store for beer kegs. The floor was partly earth, partly stone and the walls were timber with wattle and daub in-filling. There are remains of a door and steps leading into the cottage which adjoins at the back. The Bar was in the middle room and the extension at the N end housed a butcher’s shop. The barn used as slaughterhouse at the back of the property still has the winching machinery in the roof.
