Origins of "Three Crowns" as a Pub Name
Royal names have always been popular for pubs, demonstrating the landlord's loyalty to authority. Crowns also feature heavily in heraldry - many coats of arms contain crowns - often in multiples - and when seen in threes this can refer to the arms of The Worshipful Company of Drapers (textile merchants).

What's a Canonical Name?
To simplify searches, each pub on our database has a Canonical Name - usually a shortened version of its full name missing out any common prefixes and suffixes like "The Old", "Inn", "Tavern" and so on.
This means that "The Old Crown", "The Crown Inn" and "Ye Olde Crown Taverne" are known canonically as, simply, "Crown".
We've also dropped the "The", standarised with "and" instead of "&" and in some cases simplified pluralisation.
