YearText Photos 
The Crown Inn until (?) the end of the eighteenth century, known earlier as the Red Lion.  
This attractive group of 18th century houses has been renovated in recent years, and much enhanced by the narrow garden border in front of them. It was known as Crown House, and was formerly the Crown Inn. While modernised inside, these houses still retain a number of old features such as wide fireplaces, and occasional oak beams. Narrow brickwork at the rear of two of these premises appear to remain from earlier 17th century buildings. Elham Study
