As part of our of journey of the rebrand we have connected with the local history of Brading, and our new venture has been guided by this intuitive drive.

​

 In creating the Crown & Bear Pub as a fantastic venue delivering affordable quality food and drink, we also want to raise awareness of the local history of Brading, The Rectory Mansion and the Tudor Era as a whole.

​

History is important and it can be easy to forget, in these fast-paced modern-day times. History is our ancestors, the people and events that created the world that we are fortunate to live in today. 

​

This is an ongoing journey we are on, bringing the past into the future.  History is often subjective and open to interpretation and should not solely be regarded as fact. Many have dedicated their lives to researching and documenting history and it feels right to try to keep their work in the public eye.

​

As well as history featuring on our website and social media, we will dedicate a space physically in our pub to display pictures and documents of interest.
