On the road between Craven Arms and Much Wenlock in Shropshire there are five pubs. One, the Crown Inn, formerly the Hundred House, boasts having a timber over the inglenook fireplace from one of Sir Francis Drake’s ships that defeated the Spanish Armada.Used as a court for the Lord of the Manor to try local offenders, it subsequently was used for auctions, inquests, meetings, as well as celebrating events in people’s lives, enjoying good food and ale, meeting others and generally enjoying the atmosphere of a beautiful old inn.Bernard O’Connor’s ’There’s Life in the Crown Inn, Munslow’ tells its story through historical records and nearly two hundred years of newspaper articles.
