“The Secrets of ‘No 5’ Upgate: A Georgian Legacy”
In the heart of Louth, nestled among cobblestone streets and centuries-old architecture, stands ‘No 5’ Upgate, a residence of fascinating historical providence. Built in 1832, this elegant Georgian home began its journey as a notorious public house known as ‘The Dog and Duck’ and tales of raucous nights and clandestine meetings are documented in Louth Museum, Louth library and also online.
The winds of change swept through those timeworn corridors. Lightning struck the spire of St. James’ Church across the road in the 1840s, leaving it in need of repair. Amid the scaffolding, a local artist seized an opportunity. Scaling dizzying heights, brush in hand, he immortalized the scene - the Louth Panorama. And within that very painting, ‘No 5’ Upgate can be seen, standing proudly, its pub sign visible (a print is mounted in the hallway of 5 Upgate).
St. James Church, witness to centuries of devotion and rebellion, played a pivotal role in the Lincolnshire Rising of 1536. The vicar, embroiled in the uprising, met a grim fate - hung, drawn, and quartered. Beneath ‘No 5’ Upgate’s floorboards, hidden tunnels snake their way to St. James, a secret passage through time.
As you step across the threshold, imagine the echoes of laughter and the clash of tankards ‘No 5’ Upgate, a symphony of secrets—a home steeped in a rich history.
