Our History
This two-storey corner building was rebuilt in the early 20th century. Its predecessor is shown on an advert printed in 1898, with a hanging sign for the Crown and a large clock on the façade of the adjoining property. During the 19th century, the Crown was one of the town’s three ‘principal inns’ and also a ‘posting house’. It is listed in the Universal British Directory of 1793–8, when George Savage was the innkeeper.
