History.
This hostelry has had numerous names before. It began as The Cheese Hall and later turned into The Stilton. It was renamed The Three Lamps after the three lights on a traffic island nearby, then Oscars and is now The Cheese Hall again.
"This building was built before 1756. It used to stand oppostive St Mary's Roman Catholic Church, a graveyard and also an Infant School.
The Lyceum Theatre runs along the back of the pub and the pub's cellar joins onto the theatre's cellar.
A gravestone was found in the pub's cellar, this was because before the theatre was built, this cellar was used to store gravestones and not because there was a grave here, as some believe."
