Description

The Lamb Hotel, originally a house, dates from the 18th century but incorporates features from the 16th century. It is constructed of coursed rubble with a Cotswold stone roof and has ashlar gable-end chimneys as well as a front wall chimney. The building is two storeys high and features five bays with a mix of two- and three-light casement windows from the mid to late 19th century. There are two doorways with heavy lintels and plank doors, along with a blocked wooden lintel doorway on the west side. A low single-storey-and-attic wing extends to Priory Lane, showcasing four Cotswold attic gables and a 20th-century Cotswold-style gable. The wing has mullion windows, some of which have been restored, and a gable end to the north with large square ashlar stacks featuring joint cornices. A notable feature of the hotel is a four-light window with cusp head lancets and a stilted label at the right-hand end. To the left, there are three large garage entries, with a mounting block next to the southernmost entry. Inside, the west room contains a Tudor arch fireplace and moulded beams, and there is a rear corridor leading to the north flank.
