The Rose and Crown Public House

The Rose and Crown Public House is an inn that possibly dates back to the late 16th century or early 17th century, featuring elements from the 17th century but was refronted in the 19th century. It is a timber-framed building with the ground floor now covered in painted brick, while the upper floors are tile hung and topped with a slate roof. The structure has three storeys and a window arrangement of 1:3:2. The second floor includes one tripartite casement window, while the ground and first floors feature tripartite sash windows with glazing bars and horns. The bar front has a splayed bay, and the rear elevation includes two gabled dormers. There are two external brick chimney stacks at the ends, with the northern stack dating to the late 16th century and featuring a sandstone base. This stack has three detached square shafts that are closely grouped under a single capping. Inside, the Saloon Bar boasts a late 16th-century sandstone chimneypiece with a 4-centred arch, which is adorned with the initials 'W B A' and the date '1688' carved in the spandrels. The interior includes a chamfered spine beam, but has otherwise been refurbished.
