Well over 500 pubs have this name, reflecting the popularity of an inn sign that has been used for some six hundred years. It is a simple visual symbol, easy to illustrate and easy to recognise whilst at the same time it demonstrates loyalty to the reigning monarch.
In a will of 1857 W. Pickard was named as the licensee of the Old Crown Inn. From 1879 the pub was always referred to as the OLD CROWN.
