The Crown was situated on the Market Place.
This pub, a grade-II listed building, was closed some time ago, having been allowed to get into a very poor state of repair. The owners, Star Inns, subsequently did some renovation to the exterior of the building and advertised for a tenant, without success. According to a local well-informed source, the building has now been sold to an entrepreneur who wants to reopen the Crown as a pub and restaurant. The building is surrounded by scaffolding (again!) and there appears to be a lot of building work going on inside. It will be interesting to see what happens when this work is completed and the current Corona virus restrictions are eased.
