Description
The Crown and Anchor is an early 19th-century public house situated on the High Street in Weston. It is constructed of painted limestone rubble with a double-pitched hipped slate roof, featuring a large moulded square stack in the centre and smaller stacks to the right and rear. The building has a double-depth plan.
The exterior presents an eight-window range across two storeys. Originally, it had six/six-pane sash windows with chamfered architraves, two at each outer end with balconettes, and two on the left side retaining their original six/six-pane configuration. Pilasters with moulded caps extend up to the eaves, flanking four central windows. A blocked window with a timber lintel is situated on the far left of the ground floor. A large, projecting doorcase, likely from the late 19th century, features pilasters and a keystone over a moulded archivolt, sheltering a semicircular fanlight and double two-panel doors. A six/six-pane sash window sits to the left of the centre. A dentil cornice and fascia top the 20th-century restored three-light shop window to the right of the centre. The far-right end has a plate glass sash window with a timber lintel. The left return curves back towards Penhill Road, with four-pane windows on the ground floor and large paired six/six-pane sash windows on the first floor. Similar windows are found on the rear of the first floor. An iron bracket to the right of the centre supports an anchor and crown motif.
The ground floor interior has been altered, but retains fireplace surrounds dating back to the 18th century. The first-floor room appears largely unaltered and is simple in design.
