Our History…

functions_3crowns_exteriorThe Three Crowns, once an old manor house belonging to Sir John Whyddon, was described by famous clergyman and writer, Charles Kingsley, as ‘a beautiful old mullioned and gabled perpendicular inn’ and in 1952 was registered as a building of historical and architectural interest.

Built of Dartmoor granite in the thirteenth century, the Three Crowns retains a wonderful sense of history, with its great open fireplaces and fine oak beams still in their original state of preservation.

It was in the unusual stone porch that young Sidney Godolphin, aged 32, Cavalier and poet, and described as ‘one of the four wheels of Charles 1sts wain,’ was killed during a skirmish with the Roundheads in 1642. He died on one of the stone seats in the sides of the porch.

Chagford is one of four medieval Stannary towns on Dartmoor, situated high above the River Teign. The name of Chagford means ‘gorse ford’ from the old dialect word chag (gorse, broom), and the ford being that over the River Teign which is crossed by Chagford Bridge and has existed since before 1224.

Chagford had developed as a market centre for the wide moorland areas as early as the 12th Century. In 1305 it was made a Stannary town where tinners had to bring their metal for coinage. The Stannary brought prosperity to Chagford, which later became an important woollen centre. This dwindled in time and, in the early 20th century, Chagford grew again as a holiday and residential town for those who thrive on moorland air.

Sitting opposite The Three Crowns is the church St Michael of Archangel, a fine example of a 15th Century granite church with parts dating back to the 13th Century.

Dog-Friendly

You are welcome to bring your four-legged friends with you – well-behaved dogs on leads are welcome in the bar, snug and external dining areas. Assistance dogs are welcomed throughout the building.

Accessibility

Within the restraints of this ancient grade II listed building, we try to ensure that the Three Crowns is as accessible as possible. Parking spaces are limited and spaces are reserved for Superior rooms and the Godolphin Suite, with further parking being on a first come first served basis. There is plenty of on street parking in Chagford and the very reasonably priced ‘pay and display’ car park is only 50 metres away.

Sustainability

At Three Crowns, we are committed to running a modern and sustainable business within the confines of a grade II listed building. Things we do to minimise our impact on our environment include purchasing as much as we can from companies based in Devon and Cornwall, ensuring that our spend creates employment for other local businesses.
