The former Crown Inn is one of many former pubs to be found in Towcester, a town once packed with drinking establishments. Thought to date from 1767, the building is Grade II listed. In the early 1840's the Crown Inn was kept by John and Elizabeth Barnicle. She was a local woman but John Barnicle was born in Upton around 1796. This couple were mine hosts for many years. The building was later owned by the Hopcraft & Norris Brewery. A trade directory for 1890 lists Isaac Alfred Marlow as the licensee but by the time of the census conducted in the following year he had moved to the Dolphin Inn.
