Description

The Three Crowns Public House is a public house located on The Causeway in Chippenham, dating from the early 18th century and late 19th century. It features painted ashlar stonework with double-Roman and plain tile roofs, stone coping, and brick chimney stacks at the gable ends. The original 18th-century west block has a two-unit plan, with a late 19th-century block added to the east.

The building is three storeys high and has a symmetrical two-window layout. It has a double-Roman tile roof, an eaves cornice, a lintel band at the first floor, and a moulded string course at the ground floor. The windows on the ground floor are three-light with cyma-moulded stone-mullions and 19th-century glazing, featuring two fixed panes on the outer lights and sashes on the central lights. There is a blind two-light window at the centre of the second floor. The doorway is chamfered and has a moulded hood supported by brackets, with a 19th-century canted bay window to the right.

The late 19th-century block to the right has a cornice that continues from the 18th-century block and a platband between the floors. The west-facing gable end of this block features two blind windows on the first floor, one window on the ground floor to the left, and a doorway with a moulded hood on brackets to the right. The south facade has a plain tile roof and two full-height canted bays with hipped roofs, featuring 2/2-pane sash windows, except for the ground-floor left window, which has 1/1 panes. The interior has not been inspected.
