 CROWN INN

 Church Street (roughly opposite Manchester Road)

NOT to be confused with any other Crown Inn

closer to the town centre. This one was situated close

to where the DUKE WILLIAM stood.

 

Mine Host:

Late 1600s                   Mr. Jepson

 THE  TALBOT  DOG

Church Street

(On the south side of Church Street, opposite Patten House, for years the home of the Derby Family)

Sometimes known as either the 'Talbot' or the 'Dog'

Almost certainly the Dog Inn that preceded the Old Dog Inn that appeared higher

up Church Street in about 1750. 

MINE HOST

Late 1600s              William Adkinson
