Britain's What's On Event Guide
Lion and Lamb House, Harris and Hoole
Heritage Open Day: Visit Harris and Hoole coffee shop in the 16th century Lion and Lamb House This 16th century building has a long and chequered history. In the 16th and 17th centuries it was an inn called The White Hart, which became the Lion and Lamb in the early 18th century and was divided into tenements. The date 1537 is cut on a brick plaque under the archway entrance to Lion and Lamb Yard but the plaque may have come from somewhere else.
By the early 20th century the building was in a very bad condition and was largely reconstructed in 1921 on its original lines. A minstrels gallery overlooks the yard. There is a magnificent carved oak fire surround in the front room.
