Description

The Crown Inn is a public house that likely dates back to the 15th century, with alterations from the 17th century and later. It features rendered timber-framing and rubble construction, topped with a slate roof. The building has a half H-plan and stands two storeys tall. Each of the cross-wings, which are one bay wide, contains casement windows with segmental heads. The recessed centre has two bays with additional casement windows. There is a doorway in the right-hand bay and another to the left, the latter sheltered by a single-storey lean-to porch. Chimneys are located between the central bays and on the side walls of the wings. The left-hand wing's side wall displays some exposed framing in square panels. Inside, the building is said to have a 15th-century moulded beam, a chamfered screen doorway with a pointed head, and a 17th-century staircase with turned balusters.
