SJ 80 SW ALBRICHTON C.P. HIGH STREET (north side) 6/22 The Crown Inn G.V. II

House, now inn. C16, remodelled early C18 with later additions and alterations. Red brick, timber frame, mostly planted externally, machine tiled roofs. Hall and cross-wing type converted. 2 storeys with gable lit attics; 1:3:1; windows all C20 leaded casements, transoms to those in central (hall?) range, rubbed brick flat arches, fluted keystones and bracketed sills to ground floor. Projecting 2 storey bay to left may mark the position of a former oriel, C20 central gabled porch. Plastered C18 modillion eaves cornice. Cross wings have much planted timbering above ground floor and late C19 cut bargeboards. Prominent chimneys to right of left hand cross wing with multiple stacks on massive sandstone base. Paired stacks to right of (hall?) range. Right hand cross wing is presumably a C19 addition but that on left retains partial jettying and original timbering on its left hand side.
