The Eagle at Weeton
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 and in north-west England. A set of steps in front of the property date to the 18th century, and are listed. Situated on the former estate of Lord Derby, 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. Matthew Anderton was the pub's landlord in 1851. 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. It has also been named The Holy Lamb. The building had a thatched roof until a fire in the 1960s. Star Pubs and Bars, a subsidiary of Heineken, is the owner of the establishment.
