The Crown is amongst the oldest hostelries in Newmarket, dating back to at least 1577. We are not 100% certain if it is on the same site, but the Crown was bequeathed in 1604 by Thomas Dane to Christopher Funston (senr) who handed it on to his son Christopher (died in 1617) before his father who died n 1625).
Since 1969 reduced considerably in area. As late as the 1960's is was used by many bus firms as a convenient stopping place between Norwich and London and the yard, with possibility of a "drive through" was often full with buses., Ceased to operate as a pub in 2009. Now trading as a Thai restaurant with accommodation (Crown Rooms) above. |
