Milbourne was a Prestbyterian and according to St Hilda's register was buried in the garden of his own home, called Lay House. Ironically, considering Milbourne's faith, the house was demolished and the pub in the photograph erected on the site.The sign above the door reads, John Lanson, ale, porter, spirits. A new Adam and Eve(superceding the building in the photograph) was built in 1878. |
