The Lamb Inn

The Lamb Inn is a coaching inn that was rebuilt in the mid-18th century, originating from an earlier establishment. It is constructed of limestone ashlar with sections of limestone and flint chequers, featuring a tiled roof and brick stacks. The building has an L-plan layout with entrances on the left side. It is two stories tall and has six windows across its façade.

On the right side, there is an impressive pedimented door case adorned with an anthemion frieze and half-glazed double doors. To the left, a bow window contains three sashes, alongside a glazed door set in a stone Tudor-arched surround. The ground floor also features a 12-pane sash window, a 9-pane sash with thick glazing bars, and a four-panelled door within a porch. The first floor includes two 16-pane sashes, a pair of 16-pane sashes, one 12-pane sash, a pair of 12-pane sashes, and a 9-pane fixed window.

The right side of the building, facing High Street, has two 16-pane tripartite sashes on the ground floor and two pairs of 12-pane sashes on the first floor. It is topped with a stone modillioned eaves cornice and features a hipped attic dormer with two 6-pane top-hung casements. The rear of the inn contains casements, planked doors, and a 20th-century extension within the courtyard. There is also a two-story 18th-century wing built in English bond brick, which has 12-pane sashes with thick glazing bars.

Inside, the inn features an open fireplace with a timber lintel on stone jambs, plaster beams, and several 18th-century fitted cupboards, including those in the dining room that have raised and fielded panelling. The dog-leg staircase has two turned balusters for each tread and a wide moulded handrail. The Lamb Inn is noted as an important coaching inn on the London to Exeter road, with this section being turnpiked between 1760 and 1762.
