The row of buildings now known as the Rose and Crown were built around 1700. An Inn named The Rose has been listed on this site since 1716. The Inn shared the location of the Bull Beggars Hollow with the Rose and Crown Cottage and a small shop until the early 1960's. Despite a number of refurbishments the shape of these buildings have remained virtually unaltered for decades. It is reputed that the infamous highwayman Dick Turpin was linked to the inn by his grandparents, Robert and Mary Knott, who are believed to have owned the premises until at least 1752. Not too far from the Inn is the estate of Trent Park and within the grounds used to be a moat in which Dick Turpin is said to have lurked for his prey. Once the deed was done it is believed that Dick would return to the Rose and Crown to hide-out. Local tradition maintains that his ghost is said to haunt not only the pub, but also the road outside where he mounts his jet back horse and gallops away.
