Crown Hotel, Market Place, Bawtry
Grade II Listed mid to late 18th century coaching inn with extensive 19th and 20th century additions. The Crown, once a Posting House, has associations with Robin Hood and Dick Turpin. It became Bawtry's main coaching inn after Thomas Fisher moved his business from the Swan, across the road, to Scrooby Top around 1780. The hotel is supposedly haunted by a variety of apparitions, including a waitress who died over a century ago, a little girl, and Dick Turpin or at least his horses hooves heard on the gravel outside. (It is not explained how Dick's horse is distinguishable from others).
