In the seventies he settled in practice at Tunbridge Wells, and was for a time Senior House Surgeon at the Infirmary as well as Medical Officer at the Dispensary and the Fever Hospital. These institutions later became the Tunbridge Wells General Hospital, the Tunbridge Wells Provident Dispensary, and the Tunbridge Wells Municipal Fever Hospital.

He was Hon Secretary to the Tunbridge Wells Medico-Chirurgical Society, and took an active part in the affairs of the Tunbridge Wells Division of the British Medical Association, being Chairman of the Division in 1903-1904 and Vice-Chairman in 1904-1905. After his retirement he lived at Elleray, Crescent Road, and was Consulting Surgeon to the Tunbridge Wells General Hospital, Consulting Surgeon to the Convalescent Home for Children, Frant, and Medical Referee to the British Home for Incurables. He died on June 1st, 1920. Lammiman was a man of ample private means and is remembered in Tunbridge Wells for his hospitality. It has been said that those who passed by his house in Crescent Road could always tell by the pervading scent of sherry in the air that a butt of that wine was in process of being bottled by him.
