The Punch Bowl, Burton in Lonsdale
The Punch Bowl is a historic pub in Burton in Lonsdale, a village in North Yorkshire, in England.
The building was constructed as a coaching inn in the 18th century, and extended in the 19th century.[1] In the early 20th century, its stables were converted, to enlarge the public areas. As the village grew, with a pottery industry, it had at its peak 13 pubs, but with the decline of the industry, they closed, leaving only the Punch Bowl.[2] The building was grade II listed in 1958 and altered in the 1970s.[1] In 2014, Thwaites Brewery sold the pub, at which time it was listed as an asset of community value.[3] The pub became a free house, but was again put up for sale in 2024, with an asking price of £315,000. A group of villagers formed an organisation to explore bringing it into community ownership.[2][4]
The two-storey pub is built of limewashed stone, with painted stone dressings, and a slate roof. The original part has three bays, a central doorway with a moulded hood, and mullioned windows containing casements and fixed lights. In the 19th-century extension, to the left, are a doorway and two windows.[1]
