The Eagle at Weeton (formerly the Eagle and Child) is a public house in Weeton, Lancashire, England. Dating to 1585, it is one of the oldest public houses in the county [1] and in north-west England. [2] A set of steps in front of the property date to the 18th century and are listed. [2]
Situated on the former estate of Lord Derby, [3] [4] the building was once a courthouse. Judge and Puritan activist Michael Livesey, who signed the death warrant for Charles I, is believed to have presided there. [1]
Matthew Anderton was the pub's landlord in 1851. [5]
The pub was known as the Eagle and Child until it underwent a £750,000 renovation in 2019, at which point its name reverted to its 16th-century name, the Eagle. [6] It has also been named The Holy Lamb. [1] The building had a thatched roof until a fire in the 1960s. [1] [7]
The pub is owned by Star Pubs and Bars, a subsidiary of Heineken. [6]
