Description
The Old Crown Public House is an inn that dates from the early 18th century, with alterations made in the late 18th century and additions from the 19th and 20th centuries. It is constructed from limestone ashlar and rubblestone, topped with a hipped double Roman tile roof featuring moulded stacks at the gable ends and rear.
The building has a three-unit plan, with a front block from the late 18th century that remodels an earlier single-storey structure, as indicated by the painted rubblestone ground floor and the visible lower gable of the rubblestone block on the left return. The first floor is finished in ashlar and features six-over-six pane sash windows. The left side has a canted bay window with an inn sign on a wrought iron bracket, while the right side has a timber lintel above its window. Below, there are two 19th-century sash windows at different heights.
To the left, there is a high rubblestone wall with a 20th-century window, connecting to a single-storey entrance block. The left return, facing east, has a late 18th-century attic storey added above the cornice, with a raised parapet over paired six-over-six pane sash windows that sharply slopes down to the original level at the sides, featuring a half-hipped roof. The first floor includes a tripartite six-over-six pane sash flanked by four-over-four pane sashes, some of which have crown glass. A door is located in the 20th-century single-storey projecting block. The rear of the building has a 19th-century rubblestone block with a pantile roof and coped parapets at the gable ends. The ground floor interior has been altered.
