The Crown Public House

The Crown Public House is a public house located in Cirencester, dating from the late 18th century to early 19th century. The building features a painted brick front and right side, with coursed squared limestone rubble at the rear right and in the rear wing. It has a hipped roof made of Welsh slate, with stone slate and concrete tile on the rear wing. Brick stacks are positioned on the left side and at the gable end of the front range, with a brick ridge stack on the rear wing.

The front range faces West Market Place, while the right side and rear wing extend along Blackjack Street. The structure is three stories high with a two-window range. The first floor has two 3/6-pane sash windows with plain reveals and projecting sills, while the second floor features two 6/6-pane sash windows. On the ground floor, there is a pair of doors with six raised-and-fielded panels and a simple fanlight, set in a doorcase with reeded pilasters and an open pediment to the right. To the left, there is a pair of similar 20th-century hardwood doors with a 20th-century glazed panel surround, flanked by pilaster strips, a frieze, and a moulded cornice above. The building has a shallow plinth.

The right side includes four 2- and 3-light casement windows on the first floor and five similar windows on the second floor. The ground floor has a mix of window styles, including an 8/8-pane window, one 6/6-pane window, a triple sash window with a combination of 2/2, 6/6, and 2/2 panes, and a horned 6/6-pane sash. There is also a 19th-century three-light fixed window in plain reveals. The rear wing features 19th and 20th-century casements on the ground and first floors, along with three rooflights. A carriage entrance at the rear has a steel lintel.

The interior has been opened out and altered in the 20th century. In the rear right of the front range, there are two timber axial beams and a range arch opening with an almost flat keyed lintel, but no grate in the large chimney breast.
