Description

The Crown Public House is a public house that was originally a farmhouse. It dates from the 17th century, with additions and alterations made in the mid-18th century and the 20th century. The building is timber framed, covered in colourwashed render, and has a 20th-century plain tile roof, which was probably originally thatched.

The entrance front features a deep plinth. The doorway is located to the left of the center and has four lower raised and fielded panels along with two upper glazed panels. It is framed by a moulded door surround with lugs and triple keystones, topped with convex friezes and a flat-roofed porch. To the left of the doorway on the ground floor are two horned sash windows with three panes by four panes, while to the right are two additional sash windows with five panes by four panes. On the first floor, there are two 2-light windows on the left and two 3-light windows on the right. At the ridge, to the left of center, is an axial stack with four flues.

To the right and left of the building are 20th-century single-storey extensions with hipped roofs that conceal much of the gable ends. The rear of the building has 20th-century extensions with flat and hipped roofs that cover most of the back.

The Crown Public House sits in one of the driest parts of the UK, with an average of 680 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 99% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 61% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 18 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 82% of listed buildings. Of these, 9 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.
