Nympsfield Community pub

The earliest mention of this historic building is in 1684, when a lease in which the building where the Rose and Crown now is, and its adjoining meadow, were rented for £23 per annum, 

Originally known The Ducie Arms, our village pub changed it's name to the Rose and Crown around 1890's.

An advertisement in Symonds 1907 directory reads:

‘First class house for boarding residents in the most picturesque part of Gloucestershire. Excellent catering and capital accommodation for visitors, picnic parties, cyclists, etc. An ideal spot to spend a weekend. Good stabling. Prop. J. Ford.’

The Ownership of the pub passed through Stroud Brewery and on to Whitebread brewery, before the freehold was bought in the 1980's.

Sadly, last orders were called on the Rose & Crown Inn early 2023. 

Nympsfield Community Pub Limited was incorporated in April 2024 as a community benefit society to acquire the Rose & Crown Inn as a community-owned pub for the benefit of the community.
