1649-1702/Some early un-dated token exists for the Crown Tavern, in West Smithfield, with initials I A C
The Crown tavern was situated in what was then termed Smithfield rounds, and was held on the first floor. The minutes of the Clockmakers Company show that, having previously held their meetings at the Castle tavern in Fleet street, destroyed in the great conflagration, they assembled for the first time after the fire, October 8th, 1666, at the Crown tavern, Smithfield. Henry Eversden, a publisher of religious books, had his shop on the ground-floor ; one of his imprints describes it as being "under the Crown, next Duck lane in West Smithfield, 1670." Another, to Camfield's Comprehensive Rule of Righteousness, printed in 1671, states the book to have been " printed for H. Eversden/ under the Crown tavern in West Smithfield."
