The building was first recorded as the Crown in the 18th century. Now owned by Wetherspoon, it consists of several different sections including an atmospheric front room and snug to the right, a conservatory to the side, and a more modern area at the back leading to a rear terraced patio garden. Disabled access is down the alley to the right of the pub. Two guest ales including one from a local brewery and Westons Old Rosie cider. The recent refurbishment has made more space for customers.

The Charter Market Quarter has many historical links. One of the only free-standing medieval civic clock towers, the site of the First Battle of St. Albans in 1455, during the Wars of the Roses. Allegedly the Boot Inn played host to soldiers fighting in the battle. There used to be 23 pubs around the Market area!
The northern end of the Market is dominated by St. Peter’s church, one of the three churches originally built by the Saxon’s on the main pilgrim routes into St. Albans. Soak up the history and architecture of the area, as well as music history!
This area is packed with history and interesting pubs, some open, and some no longer with us.
