Description
The Crown Hotel, originally known as the Crown Inn, is a hotel and public house dating from the 17th century and later. It is constructed mainly of brick and flint, which is mostly colourwashed, and features pantile and slate roofs. The building has a later wing at the rear that forms a T plan. It stands two storeys tall with an attic. The southernmost third of the main block is believed to be the original structure, indicated by fossilised quoins and a change in alignment.
On the ground floor, there are four 19th-century sash windows with glazing bars set beneath skewback arches with cambered soffits, along with two part-glazed doors, one of which has a pedimental hood supported by shaped brackets. The first floor also has four 19th-century sash windows with glazing bars. A brick dentil cornice runs along the top of the building. There is one off-centre axial stack, one internal gable-end stack to the north, and one external gable-end stack to the south, all featuring a moulded brick string course. The rear wing is not of special interest.
