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. 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. The building was Grade II listed in 1958 and altered in the 1970s. In 2014, Thwaites Brewery sold the pub, at which time it was listed as an asset of community value. 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. 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.
