Lamberts

Lamberts is a mid-18th century building, originally an inn, now a shop, located on the south side of Cheapside, Settle. It is constructed of rubble with stone dressings and a stone slate roof. The building is three storeys high and comprises three bays. The central entrance is distinguished by a shell hood over the door and a moulded architrave. The flanking shop windows date from around the 1970s. The first and second floor windows feature moulded architraves and sash windows without glazing bars. The eaves are modillioned, and fluted rainwater heads flank the central window, inscribed “I B 1777” (John Birbeck). A late 19th-century glazed dormer is present. Two ridge stacks are visible. The building forms a continuous range with Sidwell’s. It is reputed to be part of the former Golden Lion Inn.
