Description
The Crown Inn Public House, originally a Hundred House, dates from the mid-18th century, with an earlier core likely from the 17th century. It features painted brick with floor bands, a painted timber frame at the rear and gable end, and plain-tiled roofs with brick coped parapet gables and cogged brick eaves, along with painted stone rubble extensions. The building has a central stone chimney with a 19th-century brick upper shaft and a projecting stepped brick gable-end stack on the right.
The south-east front is asymmetrical, with three storeys and six windows in a range of segmental-arched openings. The upper two levels contain three 8/8 sashes with moulded cases and three blocked windows, while the ground floor has four sashes of varying sizes. There is a plain doorway at the head of a straight flight of steps leading to the first floor, and a later doorway with a gabled porch on the ground storey featuring a four-panelled and boarded door.
On the left side, the lower storeys are covered by a painted stone rubble lean-to extension, with a casement window in the top storey. To the left is a single-storey and attic painted brick rear gabled extension wing. The right side has a lower storey covered by a single-storey rubble stone extension with a projecting gabled roof and a flat roof to the rear, featuring a central projecting stack. The top floor has a 20th-century casement and a framed truss with a tie beam, vertical strut, and collar to the right of the stack only.
At the rear, the building is partly covered by later lean-to extensions and has a small square-framed gabled outshut at the upper-storey level. Inside, there are chamfered bridging beams and a large chamfered mantelbeam with 17th-century carving featuring cockerels.
