Crown Hotel

Seventeenth century coaching inn with notable jettied area running to the rear. Unlike most similar old inns, the Crown still retains a bar with old fittings. Prior to the 1950s the main bar was actually 3 small rooms. An extensive refit in c.1955 involved the installation of wall panelling (rescued from Didlington Hall prior to its demolition); it retained the ancient large fireplace; added a smaller brick fireplace; and installed the bar counter made of old wooden barrel parts with two nearly complete casks - one at each end. There was a cabinet for a bar back which has since been removed and replaced by new shelves in the late 1980s. The only other change is the removal of the dark stain from the wood panelling to match the current vogue for bars with light pastel shades.

There was a lounge at the front of the building with a small counter but this was been converted to a bedroom in 2006. There is a small dining room; a function room with a vaulted ceiling, a modern bar which replaced a 1960/70s one and new dado panelling; and a Stable Restaurant at the rear which is open at weekends.
