His works are well represented in the Eton Choirbook. Also the Lambeth Choirbook and the Caius Choirbook include his works.
Born in Salisbury, Lambe was elected King's Scholar at Eton College in August 1467 aged 15.[a] By 1477 he was a clerk at Holy Trinity College, Arundel,[b] and in 1479 he moved to St George's Chapel, Windsor, as a clerk of the choir there.[2]
