Description

The Crown Public House dates from the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries. It is a public house of an L-shaped plan, constructed using a mix of timber framing with colourwashed roughcast, and brick with colourwashed render. The roof is covered in clay tiles. The southwestern block is the oldest part, dating to the 17th century, augmented in the 18th century and sits at a slightly lower level than the front block, which is 19th century. The ground floor of the southwest block has a single 3-light casement window, two 19th-century canted bay windows framing a plank front door, a 2-light casement window, and a single-light window. The first floor has two 2-light casement windows. All windows have glazing bars, although some are 20th-century replacements. The front block features two 20th-century sash windows on the ground floor flanking a doorway with a moulded surround, a flat hood, and a 20th-century glazed door. Two 20th-century replacement windows are on the first floor. The left-hand gable of the southwest block has four 20th-century casement windows on the ground floor and one 3-light casement window on the first floor. All windows display glazing bars. There are two rebuilt red brick ridge stacks, the left-hand one serving back-to-back hearths. An external red brick stack is located at the north gable end.
