Excerpt from Surrey Archaeological Collections, Vol. 45 The Crown Inn, Chiddingfold, where the party took lunch. This is a very ancient hostelry rebuilt in the fifteenth century, with a half-timbered annexe of later date at the back. Despite considerable alterations the central hall may be traced on the ground floor. Of special interest are the oak buttery and pantry door-cases, the stone Tudor fireplace combining Gothic survival with ornament of Jacobean character, and the king-post roof which once spanned the open hall.
