The Crown

Photograph at the The Crown red plaque

The Crown This building is believed to have been built in the 16th century and has been used as a public house since that time. The first record of 'The Crown' was in 1743 but by 1790 the building was known as 'the Chaffcutter'. In 1853 the premises were returned to 'the Crown'. During recent years the public house has had several other name changes until JD Wetherspoon once again returned it to its original name.
