The internet hasn't quite caught up with events yet, as the page showing that the Rose and Crown is open is still up. In reality, it has been closed for a while, and the tenants have gone.
When Linda and Paul ran the pub, successfully for many years, they wanted to buy the building, but at that time the owner didn't want to sell. Since Paul and Linda retired, none of the new tenants have managed to stick around for very long.
So now the owner of the pub is selling up. It's a historic building, and I'm pretty sure it's Grade II listed, and it needs quite a bit of work doing to it - which is more complicated because of the listed status.
I hope someone does take it on, and give it the tender loving care it deserves.
