John Lambert was a prominent solicitor and a generous philanthropist. He bought two small houses in 1811, then extended, modernised and refaced them to create a stylish home for his large family and thriving legal practice. On his death the house passed to his son, then in 1861 it was sold to William Dickson, a founding partner of the Law firm which became Dickson, Archer & Thorp. They occupied the building until the practice closed in 2003.
