=== Shambles Inn === [[File:Lutterworth Shambles - geograph.org.uk - 2978759.jpg|thumb|right|The Shambles Inn]] Another of the landmarks of the town centre is the thatched roof and timber-framed building now known as the "Shambles Inn". This former abattoir and butcher's is the oldest timber-framed building in Lutterworth, dating back to the 16th century. It was first used as a public house from 1791 until 1840, when it was converted back to a home and butcher's shop. In 1982 it was converted back into a public house and named the Shambles.<ref>{{cite web |title=The Shambles Public House A Grade II Listed Building in Lutterworth, Leicestershire |url=https://britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/101218008-the-shambles-public-house-lutterworth#.WQoIHMa1usw |publisher=British Listed Buildings |access-date=5 December 2018}}</ref> In February 2023, the Shambles caught fire, causing damage to the upstairs, the B&B and the house.<ref>{{Cite news |date=2023-02-13 |title=Lutterworth: Crews tackle blaze at thatched roof pub |language=en-GB |work=BBC News |url=https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-leicestershire-64628230 |access-date=2023-02-16}}</ref> The Inn has since been rethatched and reopened.
