Description
The Crown Hotel is an early 19th-century front added to a late 16th-century building located on the south side of Amersham High Street. It features a red brick exterior and a slate roof with an eaves cornice. The structure has two storeys, with nine double-hung sash windows set in reveals, each with cills and flat arches on both floors. The ground floor windows have fielded panelled shutters. To the left, there is an elliptical arched carriageway, while the right side has a tripartite sash window. The rear elevation displays a tile-hung gable above the carriageway, with a short two-gabled wing on the east side that is rendered and painted. On the west side, there is a long wing that is timber framed with white painted brick infill, featuring modern leaded windows and the hotel entrance. Inside, the hotel showcases good timber framing on both floors and several significant late 16th-century wall paintings, including a Coat of Arms of Queen Elizabeth.
