Closed: between 1884 and 1903?
opened pre-1723
Bury Rd

The pub can be seen here on the 1883 OS map (interactive map).
The Crown is shown on OS maps at least as late as 1884, but disappears from the 1903 sheet onwards, so presumably closed between those dates.
According to A Survey of Suffolk Parish History, the Crown dates back at least to 1723.

Historical interest
Some of the later landlord/resident entries may actually have been mis-assigned to this pub, as they seem to have occurred since its probable closure date.
