The Crown Inn Public House

The Crown Inn is a Grade II listed pub in Pishill, a small village in the Chiltern Hills west of Henley-on-Thames. The structure combines exposed timber framing, stone walls, and a thatched roof that has been renewed several times over the years.

The inn opened in the 17th century as a stopping point for travelers moving between London and Oxford. Its role as a coaching station ended with the arrival of the railways in the 19th century.

The building shows the timber-frame construction typical of rural English inns, with oak beams exposed throughout the interior. Locals still gather here as they have for generations, keeping the tradition of the village public house alive.

The old barn next to the inn is available for weddings and village gatherings, offering space for larger groups. The interior is often accessible only with advance booking.

A small vineyard grows right next to the property and supplies grapes for local producers. The vines were planted in recent decades and adapt well to the mild climate of the Chilterns.
