The Rose And Crown Public House

The Rose and Crown Public House is a hall house that dates back to around 1500, with later alterations made in the 16th, 17th, 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries. It features a timber frame with brick and plaster infill, while the front is rendered and scored to resemble stucco, and the rear wing is made of brick. The building has plain tile roofs and stands two stories tall with a cellar.

The main range has three bays, with a two-storey side outshut added to the left and a one-storey, one-bay addition with a cellar further left. A wing has also been added to the rear right. The road-facing front includes steps leading up to a recessed 20th-century door with a wooden doorcase, alongside a canted bay window on the right, all sheltered by a wooden canopy. Above, there is a canted bay window featuring a six-pane sash with two-pane side-lights and a flat roof. An iron bracket holds a 20th-century pub sign to the right. To the left, there are two six-pane windows on each floor, which vary in size. A large stack is located at the rear left. The outshut addition has a four-pane window on the first floor and a coped parapet. The far-left bay includes a cellar window, a four-pane sash, an eaves stack on the left, and a loading hatch with a six-pane window above on the left return.

At the rear, the left wing has two small lights in the gable and an end stack, while the inner return features a sash window with glazing bars in the reveal. The two right-hand bays are obscured on the ground floor by a single-storey addition that is not of special interest, but the first floor reveals exposed timber framing with arched braces.

Inside, the cellar beneath the wing contains a very large brick chimney with two bread ovens. The room above features chamfered joists with lambs tongue stops, and parts of the original timber frame are visible. Although the roof was not inspected, it is reported to have heavily sooted timbers, clasped purlins, wind braces, and a gablet, according to a report by the Domestic Buildings Research Group. The original hall house, built around 1500, had a chimney and floor inserted in the later 16th century, and a wing was added to the rear right in the 17th century.
