The Crown Inn

The Crown Inn is a timber-framed and plastered building dating from the 16th to 17th century, located on the northeast side of Park Street in Stoke-by-Nayland. It features a cross wing at the south end, with later additions extending to the west. At the south end, there is a small single-storey wing with a hipped roof, while the north end has a larger two-storey wing with a half hipped roof. The building has two storeys and cellars, with windows that are generally double-hung sashes with glazing bars. The main block has a three-window range, and the roofs are tiled, topped with a large central square chimney stack. The building underwent renovations in the 20th century, which modernised and altered the interior, although some original exposed beams and joists remain.
