Crown Public House

The Crown Public House is a public house, formerly an inn, dating from the mid to late 17th century. It was re-fronted and extended around 1800 and underwent further alterations and extensions in the 20th century. The building is constructed of red brick, painted white on the front, with a slate roof and brick ridge and end stacks. Originally, it likely had a two-unit lobby entry plan that was extended by one bay to the right.

The structure is two stories high with a four-window range. The front features brickwork in Flemish bond. There is a doorway with a wooden lintel located in a 20th-century gabled porch to the left of the center, which was presumably originally central. To the right of the porch is a canted bay window, and further to the right are two-light 20th-century casement windows with wooden lintels. A similar window is found to the ground floor left of the porch, and a three-light 20th-century casement window is located at the far left, both with wooden lintels. On the first floor, there is a two-light 20th-century casement window to the right of center, while the remaining windows are three-light casements, all featuring stop-chamfered wooden lintels. The eaves are dentilled in brick.

The back elevation includes an extension with a catslide roof to the rear left and a single-storey 20th-century extension. At the first floor level, brickwork in English bond is visible on the original core, which has been extended in rough Flemish bond.

Inside, the older part of the building contains a small room with a chamfered spine beam that has ogee stops, and a larger room featuring a fireplace with a cambered, chamfered bressumer, a chamfered spine beam with run-out stops, and some original stop-chamfered joists.
