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.
 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. | |||
