From: An Inventory of the Historical Monuments in the County of Cambridgeshire
The Crown, inn, of two storeys, clunch walls with brick dentil eaves course, pantiled gabled roof and sash windows, was built C19 (after 1842); it originally had a three-room plan but one partition has been removed.
From Cambridgeshire Heritage:
An archaeological evaluation at the pub undertaken in December 2016 revealed evidence of 19th century lime quarrying. A large depression took up most of the area in which the trenches were located and two large cuts were found in the trenches. The quarrying lowered the ground level by approximately 4m. The quarry is visible to the east on early Ordnance Survey mapping. All other features were modern and cut into the backfill of the quarry.
