Description

The Crown is a hotel that likely dates from the mid 17th century and consists of two sections with 20th-century alterations. The building is made of whitewashed, rendered limestone rubble and has a pantile roof with brick stacks. It has two storeys and an attic, featuring three bays. The left section of the building projects slightly forward to the right of the first window. On the right side, there is a six-fielded-panel door, with the top two panels glazed, set in a doorcase with fluted pilasters that support an open pediment. To the left, there is a 20th-century casement window and a two-light Yorkshire sash window, both situated beneath projecting lintels. On the first floor, there are two-light Yorkshire sash windows. A pulvinated moulding runs below the eaves level on the right section. In the attic, there is a central two-light Yorkshire sash dormer, flanked by casement dormers and one 20th-century skylight. The building features an end stack and a ridge stack. Inside, there are richly carved 17th-century panelled doors.
