Description
The Lamb Inn is a public house dating from the 16th century and later. It is a one-storey building with attics, framed in timber and plastered, while the front is faced with painted brick and features a gabled brick porch. The ground floor has a range of four small-paned sash windows in exposed boxes, with the pair on the left being sliding-sashes. There are two gabled dormers, each with paned sashes, and a central red brick chimney stack. The roof is thatched and hip-ended. Inside, a former open hall appears to be laterally divided by a 16th-century first floor. The storeyed end on the left has an earlier floor with a disused stairs trimmer visible.
