Description

The Crown Public House is a public house that dates from the late 17th century or early 18th century, with a possible core dating back to around 1600. It is a single storey building with attics and features three windows. The structure is timber-framed and roughcast, topped with a thatched roof that includes 19th-century gabled casement dormers. At the rear, there is a 19th-century chimney made of red brick, and the windows are 19th-century casements. The building has two early 20th-century panelled doors, with the upper panels being glazed. The original layout of the building has been altered, as the ground storey partitioning has been removed, resulting in a single open space for the bars. Inside, there are well-chamfered main beams and some unchamfered joists laid flat in the late 16th-century style, although certain areas have on-edge floor joists, indicating significant alterations or a complete reconstruction in the 18th century. There is also evidence of close-studded partitioning beneath two beams, suggesting a three-cell plan.
