Description
The Crown Inn is a 16th-century inn that was clad in the 18th century. It features a timber frame covered with painted brick and has a plain tiled roof. The building is two storeys tall with an attic, a parapet, and a returned hip-end on the right side. There is one hipped dormer and chimneys located on the right, centre left, and an offset projecting chimney at the left end.
On the first floor, there are two glazing bar sash windows, while the ground floor has three sash windows with shutters. To the left, there is a six-panel door, with the top two panels being glazed, set in a moulded surround topped with a flat hood supported by brackets. To the right, there is a half-glazed door framed by an open pediment and pilasters. The right return of the building features a two-storey canted bay.
On the first floor, three painted boards display the names of patrons who frequented the inn, many of whom were theatrical figures, including Charles Dickens. The inn is noted for its Cherry Brandy, which has been made to its own recipe since 1685.
