Full of history
Above the porch is the royal coat of arms of Princess Mary of Teck, later Queen Mary, royal consort of King George V. The hotel was granted permission to display the royal arms after the princess visited in 1891. It has since been called The Royal Hop Pole.
Before the late 18th century, The Hop Pole was known as the New Inn. Two centuries earlier, around 1545, it was known as the Crone, or Crown, and the occasional meeting place of the town’s cordwainers (boot- and shoe-makers) who traded in Church Street.
