Rose And Crown Inn

The Rose and Crown Inn is a 17th-century timber-framed and plastered building with an L-shaped plan and a gabled wing at the south-west end. This inn is historically linked to the infamous 18th-century highwayman Dick Turpin, who was born in the village while his father was the inn's proprietor. Inside, the inn features copies of the parish register that record Dick Turpin's baptism, as well as a letter addressed to the Rose and Crown that was sent when he was arrested in York under an assumed name, which ultimately led to his conviction and execution in 1739. The inn underwent significant alterations in the 18th century and later. It has two storeys and a three-window range featuring double-hung sashes with glazing bars. The ground storey includes 3-light windows with narrow side lights. The main block has a slate roof with a central square chimney stack, while the roof of the north-west wing is tiled. The interior showcases exposed ceiling beams.
