The Harrow was situated on Harrow Green. This pub is now used as a private residence.
The Lawshall Murder took place on Monday 20 January 1851 and was reported in detail in both the local and national press including The Times. The event will always be associated with the Harrow Inn at Harrow Green. Elizabeth Bainbridge, a 31-year-old dress and straw bonnet maker, was visiting her brother's public house, the Harrow Inn, where she spent time drinking with George Carnt, a 29-year-old farm labourer and lodger at the Inn. The couple appeared to have formed a recent attachment. She left the public house between three and four o'clock to return to her father's house across the fields. Carnt followed her to a pond where the murder took place.
