The Crown

The Crown is a detached house that now serves as a public house. It dates from the 17th century and has undergone alterations and additions in the 19th century. The exterior features a combination of limestone and flint chequers, with English bond brick on the first floor at the front, and a concrete tiled roof with brick stacks. The building has a gable end facing the road and is two stories high with a three-window front. The central entrance is a planked door, flanked by a three-light casement window on each side and a second planked door to the right; all openings have segmental heads. The first floor contains three two-light casements and there is one gabled dormer in the roof. The left side has a gable facing the road with one blocked window in the attic. At the rear, there are 19th-century brick lean-to extensions on the ground floor and two two-light casements on the first floor. Inside, the house features chamfered beams with ogee stops and an open fireplace with a chamfered lintel set on brick jambs.
