HER Number:MDV114660
Name:Golden Lion House, Crockenwell

Summary

This large 19th century property, with the lower (and earlier) range to the west and its extensive outbuildings, was The Golden Lion inn. It appears to have been purpose-built when the Exeter to Okehampton road was improved – possibly before the grander Royal Hotel. The completeness of this group is rare and is an essential element in the special historic character of Crockernwell and it is located within one of the toft plots.
