The Old Crown

The Old Crown is a public house incorporating elements dating back to the 17th century, with significant rebuilding in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, and a further projection added around 1900. A small cottage wing was built across the front of a later 17th-century cross wing. Subsequent extensions have been added to the rear. The original building has a timber frame with whitewashed brick infill to the left gable, and the front was rebuilt in flint with narrow brick dressings, a narrow first-floor band course, and a roughcast gable to the right bay, all whitewashed. The later extensions are in whitewashed brick. The roofs are tiled, except for the slate roof to the 1900 projection. The original brick chimney has a recessed panel with a flat brick arch and keyblock.

Sections of the original building are 1½ storeys high, with one gabled bay now visible to the front, featuring 20th-century three-light casements. A 19th- and 20th-century gabled porch fronts the lobby entry on the left. The 1900 projection to the left has a horizontal sliding sash window to the ground floor, a two-light casement above, and a 20th-century door in the right return. The early 19th-century wing to the right is two storeys high and two bays wide, with barred wooden casements and a central door.

Inside, timber framing is visible in the original 17th-century sections, including a chamfered spine beam in the left bay. The right bay contains a fireplace with an arched niche flanked by rectangular niches above. Curved wind-braces are visible, notably steeply pitched in the cross wing.
