I would get an expert and also fire insurance.
Lighting and sockets are on seperate circuits over here, not sure on your regulations. if the socket is taken of the light circuit the size of the wireing is restricting the flow of current, Amps. either that or there is a bad connection in the circuit. either way this can lead to heat being generated in the wiring or at the connection, get it checked out asap please, and i would not use the socket till then.
Most older homes have a one "home run" circuit to a room with the exception of appliances and GFIs. For example, my home was built in the late 40s. The breaker box only has 16 breakers, but 8 of those are used for 220 service, so that leaves eight 120 breakers to run everything else in a 3 bedroom house with a living, kitchen, dining, bath rooms and huge basement. Older homes just don't have the service newer homes have.
Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.
