The Unicorn Public House

Home

The Unicorn is one of nine public houses which have operated in Trumpington in the last 500 years. This page is based on a presentation given by Peter Dawson at the meeting titled Along the High Street, 26 March 2009.

Meetings

The Unicorn is on Church Lane, the one surviving pub not located on the main road through the village.

It was extended in 2008 to provide bed & breakfast. After 170 years as The Unicorn, it was renamed The Lord Byron Inn in May 2012.
