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 opposite 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."

Legend has it that a conscience- stricken monk is said to haunt the cellars of this pub and the Lyceum Theatre next door. (visit link)

"The Lyceum is said to be a gathering place of several ghosts, the oldest believed to be that of a monk who used to frequent the lower levels of the building - perhaps the original floor-level of the church, or of a monastery before that. More recently his ghost seems to have developed a thirst and abandoned the world of entertainment for a public-house - he has been seen in The Three Lamps (now The Cheese Hall), situated behind the theatre. And as always, theatricals do enjoy getting together after the show." Source: (visit link)
