The Crown is a lovely old building overlooking the main square and marketplace. Although a hotel and bistro, the separate bar is run as a pub with a range of up to four changing, well-kept, ales, and is entered via the door on the left of the main entrance.

William Penn, the Quaker, preached to a large crowd outside the building in 1685. The Cathedral is a few minutes’ walk away.

No under 18s allowed in the bar after 8pm.

Historic Interest

William Penn, the founder of Pennsylvania, preached to a congregation of 3000, in 1685, from a window of the Crown. He was arrested, but then released on the intervention of Bishop Kidder
