This inn is dated 1445, but the present building is mainly 18th to 19th century. During Norman times the area was covered by the large hunting Forest of Wensley and a horn was blown at 9pm on every winter’s night to guide travellers safely out of the forest. That forest horn now hangs in the reception of the Rose and Crown.

The site of Virosidvm Roman Fort on Brough Hill, Bainbridge, Wensleydale in the Yorkshire Dales, North Yorkshire.
The Latin translation of 'Virosidvm' was the 'Settlement of true men'. The location of the fort, deep within Brigantian territory is now believed to indicate a connection with the Brigantian campaigns of Quintus Petillius Cerialis who was governor of Britain from AD 71-74. The fort was originally built from timber with clay ramparts, but after a probable attack by the Brigantes in the rebellion of AD 115, the barracks were rebuilt in stone and the ramparts strengthened with sandstone. The fort was in use until the end of the Roman Period AD 410.
