Description
The Crown is an inn dating from the late 16th century. It features a timber-framed and plastered structure with a steeply pitched roof covered in plain tiles, although modern tiles are used on the street facade. The building has two storeys and originally followed a three-unit plan. A tall ridge stack is present, with four independently set diagonal shafts, and there is an end gable stack to the west that has two similar shafts made of local brick.
On the first floor, there are five 19th-century hung sash windows with glazing bars of various sizes, while the ground floor has three hung sash windows with side lights. The building includes two entrances, each with half-glazed doors set in wooden doorcases. Inside, there is a large inglenook hearth featuring a stop-chamfered mantel beam, along with two first-floor chimney pieces that have four-centred arches made of clunch and stop-moulded jambs.
