The Crown and Thistle Inn, 300 yards E. of the church was built in around 1500, on a rectangular plan, but bay windows have been added in front, and a large modern addition made at the E. end .
The stone fireplace of around 1500 deserves notice.
The N. or main elevation is covered with 17th-century ornamental plaster and has a gable at the N.W. end. The back elevation has three gables, and the brick chimney-stack, which has two octagonal shafts with moulded caps and bases, is original. Inside the building, on the first floor, is a stone fireplace of c. 1500, with a square head, chamfered jambs and half-octagonal side shafts with moulded bases. <2>
