Description

The Crown Hotel is a building located on the north side of West Street. Most of the structure, including the two main facades, was rebuilt around 26 years ago. This reconstruction is well-executed and respects the local Georgian architectural style, which is why it has been given a Grade II listing. Part of the rear of the building dates back to the 18th century, and the stables, also originating from the 18th century, have been converted for use as garages. The Crown Hotel forms a group with No 12, the Three Choughs Public House.

Local climate

The Crown Hotel receives an average of 810 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 52% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 63% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 25 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 73% of listed buildings. Of these, 10 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
