ST4409 CHURCH STREET 876-1/7/52 (North side) 06/09/74 Swan Inn and attached stables (Formerly Listed as: CHURCH STREET (North side) Swan Hotel)
GV II
Hotel. C17 and C18, remodelled late C19. MATERIALS: Ham Hill stone ashlar facade, limestone rubble to the rest, slate roof with stone coping, moulded kneelers and brick stacks to gable ends. PLAN: double-depth plan with rear wing to the right continuing along the rear and left to enclose a courtyard. EXTERIOR: 3 storeys; symmetrical 5-window range. Rusticated quoins and a plain eaves band. Flat arches with incised keystones over late C19 horned 2/2-pane sashes. An oak 4-panel door with tall overlight, is set under a Tuscan-style porch with columns, cornice and blocking course. To the rear is a courtyard with a C19 function room opposite; this is on the first-floor, of tongued-and-grooved wood with 4 large 6/6-pane sashes. C20 buildings connect it to stables on the left: these are 2 storeys, with stone staircase to the left and two segmental arches, now blocked. The earlier recorded building was remodelled and the facade may originate from the C18, though it now has a shallow-pitched roof and second-floor windows of the same height as those on the first floor; the stacks, however, may be C18, they are single rows on Ham Hill stone bases. INTERIOR: The ground floor of the hotel is C20 Tudor-style, the upper floors are altered but have 4-panel doors. The stables have 6 original stalls, the divisions of which are of diagonal planking with swept tops and chamfered newels, otherwise altered. HISTORY: In 1751 there were 35 hostelries in Crewkerne. The Swan Hotel was among the four most important, and was described as "newly built" in 1774. (Victoria County History: Somerset: Oxford: 9).
