The Crown Hotel

The Crown Hotel is a hotel and public house, likely built in the late 17th century, with a mid-18th century extension and mid-19th century alterations. The building features coursed rubble return walls, roughcast on the front with stone dressings, ashlar copings, and roofs made of gabled pantiles and part Roman tiles, along with gable end stone stacks.

The layout includes a probable 17th-century range on the right set at right angles to the road, with an adjacent double-depth plan 18th-century range parallel to the road. The left-hand extension is not included in this description.

The exterior is three stories high with a three-window range. The symmetrical east facade has a central doorway topped with a cornice and a blind parapet. All windows are mid-19th century plate-glass sashes within plain stone surrounds, with paired windows in the outer bays on the ground and first floors, and single lights in the center of the first and second floors. The doorway features plain pilasters, a flat stone hood on brackets, and a part-glazed, two-leaf 19th-century door.

The probable 17th-century range on the right has a plate-glass sash window facing the road and a three-light ovolo-moulded mullion window at the first-floor level on the west end wall. Inside, the ground-floor right-hand room contains a probable 17th-century inglenook fireplace.
