This pub was previously, the LAMP TAVERN but by 1850 had become the CROWN INN. In 1870 Thomas Newman reverted the sign to the Lamp Tavern.


Well over 500 pubs have this name, reflecting the popularity of an inn sign that has been used for some six hundred years. It is a simple visual symbol, easy to illustrate and easy to recognise whilst at the same time it demonstrates loyalty to the reigning monarch.
