Hi Barbara,
Re: Lamb family - Aughton
Some years ago my parents bought Aughton Barn, which used to belong to the Lamb family. There is a small carving on the door with Thomas Lamb's name & date, from memory it is 17 or 1835 & found a slate with inscription in a 'loop hole' in the cottage next door, wishing the next occupants well, together with a child's shoe & bowl of damson stones. Some relatives of the family still live in the village & some burried in the local churchyard.
Hope this is of interest!
Kind regards
Gilly Taylor
