Description

Ye Olde Crown Bar, part of the Crown Hotel, is a 2-storey building with a 3-window rubble front and a stone tiled roof featuring raised bracketed eaves and a rubble chimney stack next to the higher roof of a cross range. The building has small-pane sash windows, primarily 12-pane, except for a modern bay window beside the entrance on the ground floor right, which is sheltered by a stone hood. The entrance features a half-glazed door, and a Victorian range extends to the bottom left.

The rear is constructed of rubble and includes a taller cross range with a tripartite small-pane sash window that has cambered voussoirs. There is a modern extension with a hipped lantern, and the cellar entrance has boarded doors and a keg ramp.

Inside, the bar retains original details, including some feather stop-chamfered beams, post and panel partitions, and deep window splays. A doorway at the front connects the two bars. Various inset 19th-century plaques feature carved heads, some grotesque, as well as fleur de lys and the Beaufort family arms, which are also found in the Victorian hotel range. The raising of the eaves is evident on the first floor, where the principal rafters of the original trusses are clearly exposed.
