Description

The Stores and The Lamb Inn, which also includes an entrance to the Corner House, is a shop and inn that forms a single architectural composition. It dates from the early 19th century and has undergone later alterations, all on a medieval site. The building is rendered and scribed to resemble ashlar, featuring wide eaves and a hipped pantile roof with two brick stacks. It stands three storeys tall with a layout of 1:3:2 bays. The windows in the side units are slightly lower than those in the centre, consisting of sash windows with glazing bars. The left bay has a 16-pane sash window, while the centre bays have 9 and 12-pane sash windows with marginal glazing. The right two bays have 20th-century two-light transomed casements. All openings are adorned with stepped voussoirs. There are two additional 16-pane sash windows directly under the eaves of The Stores, likely indicating a fourth floor, and two late 19th-century "bar" windows on the ground floor of The Lamb.

The Stores features a late 19th-century shop front with a glazed door. The entrance to the Inn is through a broad segmental archway with a plain stone surround, leading to double plank doors, each fitted with a glazed panel. To the left of the frontage, a six-panelled door provides access to the Corner House, topped with a fanlight that has radiating glazing bars. At pavement level in the centre of the Inn's frontage is a keyed segmental-headed opening that covers a spring of water, along with a decorative wrought iron bracket extending at right angles to the first floor, which supports a 20th-century wooden signboard. Historically, part of the building served as the Guild Hall, and a medieval wall painting can still be seen on the first floor of The Stores.
