Originating from the 13th-century, the Crown Inn combines a charming historic feel with a friendly atmosphere. It reopened after a major refurbishment in February 2019 and has a light modern feel while still retaining a village pub ambience. It retains the intimate drinking areas, while the bar has been set back to make the main room lest cramped. Look for the nice wooden floors. There is an extensive play area in the garden. Guest beers are from the Greene King list.
This multi roomed 18th century pub has evolved from a small village pub of three rooms with an extension on the right added just after the war. The plans dated 1939 for the expansion are in a frame on the wall (between the right hand bar and first room that forms the extension).
The highlight is the small right hand bar still with high backed settle seating forming a passage into the room, very old benches attached to the dado panelling, and old wood surround fireplace. The bar fittings here and in the left hand bar probably date from the 1950s (as does the parquet floors) but the handpumps have a date of 1977 on them so they may be later? Both counter fronts were replaced in 2009. The third of the original rooms on the far left has an old fireplace with Dutch tiles and a bell push. A small domestic room with shelved cupboard having conch head with sun face and rays has been amalgamated with the left hand bar in recent years; and there is a tiny room off the right hand bar.
In the extension on the right, which is of bricks that look more 1950s, than 1939, there are three rooms. The first looks like a conversion of a former living room with a small cast iron fireplace and red tiled (Norfolk Pamment?) floor. Twin doors lead to the dining room which has a large 1950s brick fireplace and parquet floor. The former garage has been converted into another small room called the ‘Boardroom’.
