Grade II Listed early 19th century public house. Originally built in the 15th century it was rebuilt in the 17th century. It was still a private house in 1729. In 1794 it was advertised for sale and described as "A Well-known and Good-accustomed Inn". In November 1878 it was conveyed to Henry Bullard & John Boyce (Reepham Brewery -Bullard & Sons Ltd) and let to John Pye (incumbent) at an annual rent of £18. Bullards (acquired by Watney Mann Ltd. 1963) advised the Licensed Property Valuer that structural alterations were completed 1st May 1967. Apparently an adjoining cottage had been demolished to provide a car park in August 1962. In 1978 a 'smugglers' tunnel was discovered found to run to the site of the former Crown and Anchor in one direction and the area of the British Legion car park in the other. In 1980 the courtyard was covered for a family room but it was removed in 1992 renovations, probably at the time it became a freehouse. In 1998 the courtyard was converted into conservatory. In September 2011 it became an Adnams Brewey house.
