Old Punch Bowl
Wealden hall house in Borough of Crawley / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Old Punch Bowl is a medieval timber-framed Wealden hall house on the High Street in Crawley, a town and borough in West Sussex, England. Built in the early 15th century, it was used as a farmhouse by about 1600,[1] passing through various owners and sometimes being used for other purposes.[2] Since 1929 it has been in commercial use—firstly as a tearoom,[3] then as a bank, and since 1994 as a public house.[4] When built, it was one of at least five similar hall houses in the ancient parish of Crawley;[5] it is now one of the oldest and best-preserved buildings in Crawley town centre.
