The West Berkshire Historic Environment Record (HER) is the primary index of the physical remains of past human activity in the unitary authority of West Berkshire Council. Limited elements of the West Berkshire HER are available online via the Heritage Gateway, therefore it is not suitable for use in desk-based studies associated with development, planning and land-use changes, and does not meet the requirements of paragraph 194 of the National Planning Policy Framework (2021: 56). Please read
the important guidance on the use of the West Berkshire HER data. For these purposes and all other commercial enquiries, please contact the Archaeology team and complete our
online HER enquiry form.

Full Description
Historical pub research <1> notes the Rose & Crown in Woolhampton from the 1881 census; this seems likely to be the building named Crown House in Station Road, although it is not marked as an inn on historic Ordnance Survey mapping <2>. It is a semi-detached house of brick with a tiled roof and large sash windows. It is unlisted although the attached 18th century timber-framed building Bridge House is Grade II listed as a former canal warehouse. Crown House is of at least 19th century date, but it is possible that it may contain earlier fabric.
