The Crown Inn

Brighton, East Sussex, England

"Situated in the very heart of the picturesque county of Lewes, The Crown Inn offers comfortable B&B accomodation at reasonable rates."

Location

Lewes is the ideal touring base for the beautiful surrounding countryside and coastline, including attractions such as Glyndebourne, the South Downs, Plumpton Races, and the new city of Brighton and Hove. The town itself is dominated by the ruins of a Norman castle, and is filled with bookshops, antigue shops and galleries. Away from the coast the visitor will find unspoilt countryside and villages offering a perfect oppurtunity for walking, cycling and riding.

Owner's Description

Situated in the very heart of the picturesque county of Lewes, The Crown Inn offers comfortable B&B accomodation at reasonable rates.

The earliest mention of the Inn was as The Black Lyon in 1675 when Henry Townsend was the landlord, changing to The Crown in 1790 under the care of Joseph Spittle. We believe we are the oldest continuously trading Inn in Lewes.

The Inn is the headquaters of one of Lewes' famous bonfire societies, Waterloo, who prepare year-round for the magnificent Lewesian celebrations of November 5th.
