Description
The Crown Public House is a public house dating from the mid-16th century, with alterations made in the 17th, 19th, and 20th centuries. The building features a combination of part timber frame encased in painted brick and part painted brick. It has an old tile gabled roof and originally had a rectangular plan of two framed bays, but now has a U-plan with a pent roof at the rear. The structure is two storeys high and has four chimneys with offset beads and clay pots.
On the entrance front, which faces east, there are two projecting gables with an irregular centre section. The left gable is made of painted brick and has a two-light window on the first floor, along with a two-light window on each side of a plain door in the centre that includes a glazed panel. The right gable features very thin framing and has a two-light window on the first floor and a three-light window on the ground floor to the left of a plain door with a glazed panel. The centre section reveals older framing, with two two-light windows on the first floor and a two-light and a three-light window on the ground floor, with a plain 20th-century entrance door in between. Inside, some timber framing is exposed on the first floor, while much of the ground floor features false framing.
