The Crown Hotel

Thought to have dated from before 1672, the former inn on this site burned down in the Great Fire of Biggleswade – which started at the hotel on 16 June 1785. According to the Biggleswade History Society, this was (in 1700) one of the town’s 11 inns. In 1732, it is recorded in the will of Richard Hide – who left the inn to his family. The hotel was grade II listed in 1978 and closed in 2013.
