Rose And Crown Hotel

The Rose and Crown Hotel is an inn located in Bainbridge, dated 1445, although the current structure mainly dates from the late 18th century and 19th century. It features roughcast rubble and a stone slate roof, with two storeys and a facade divided into 2:3:4 bays. To the left is a 20th-century two-bay extension. The central three bays are from the early to mid-19th century, with a central door that has been converted into a window, framed in ashlar with a cornice. To the right, there is a square bay window, and the other windows are 4-pane sashes. The original inn occupies the first three bays, with the fourth bay being an addition. Between the first and second bays, there is a square porch with a four-panel door and an overlight, also in an ashlar surround with imposts. Above the porch, a stone displays a re-cut inscription reading "AD 1445". To the left, there is one bay with paired 4-pane sash windows in ashlar surrounds. To the right of the door and in the two bays on the first floor, there are 4-pane sash windows with ashlar surrounds. The fourth bay includes a square bay window and a 4-pane sash window on the first floor. Corniced stacks are present at the ends of the original three bays, with an additional stack at the right end. Inside, there are sections of 17th-century panelling, two lengths of possibly 16th-century frieze carved with vine leaves and bunches of grapes, and an 18th-century turned-baluster staircase.
