This looks like the origin of the name Lamb Hill for the slope down into Walmsgate from Church Street.

In an indenture relating to the purchase of part of Monk Cottage gardens [to build two cottages] Ann Dean and her trustees transfer the land to Henry Slater. This was after the Benefit Building Societies Act of 1836/37 and a mortgage was obtained from the District Permanent Benefit Society, a local building society. There is a further Indenture of mortgage dated 26/01/1864 and a release dated 15/04/1871. Ann Dean was described as ‘widow’ and Henry Slater as Grocer of Barnoldswick. The trustees of the Dean estate were John Crossley Fawcett, gent. of Greenfield, Halifax [former Baptist minister of Barnoldswick]. Rev. Thomas Bennett, Baptist Minister of Barnoldswick. John Heap, farmer, of Cuckley in Marton. The trustees existed because they were part of a pre-marriage settlement made between Ann Mitchell and Henry Dean (since deceased) on 23/06/1854. Presumably this would be on or very shortly before the date of the marriage.
