Note from  John Baker concerning the Lymes on Woore Road Audlem

Historical Note:

The Lymes was the home of the original Dr. John Bellyse (1738 – 1828). He was part of an eminent local medical dynasty.

His son, Dr John Bellyse (1774 – 1850), also became a Doctor and and his grandson Dr. Richard Baker Bellyse (1809 – 1877).

Dr Richard Baker Bellyse has a memorial monument in Audlem Village Square.

The Lymes is available for sale via Baker Wynne Wilson and has an Open Day on the 12th September for visitors
