The Crown Inn

The Crown Inn is an inn dated 1693, as indicated by the datestone "MV 1693" located above the former carriage entrance, which now serves as the main doorway. The building is constructed from coursed and tooled stone with quoins and features a Cotswold stone slate roof. It has two large stone end stacks, each with two diagonally set brick flues. The inn has a long range with rear extensions around a yard and three steep-pitched gables, all topped with triangular section coping and square finials.

The structure stands three storeys high and has three windows on the upper floor, which are wood mullion and transom casements with a continuous dripmould. The ground floor features five similar windows and an off-centre entrance with a basket arch, keystone, dressed stone voussoirs, and an architrave, all topped with a continuous dripmould that rises into a square above the arch. The gables have blocked oval windows, located in the centre and to the right, with a small piece of moulded architrave. On the second floor, there are three wood mullion and transom casements, each with square stone hoodmoulds. The building is offset just above ground level to accommodate the slope of the land downhill.
