The Crown Hotel in Boroughbridge has been sold to a national chain.
RedCat Pub Company has bought the 37-room hotel and former coaching inn from Best Western for an undisclosed fee.
It will be run by RedCat’s subsidiary, The Coaching Inn Group, which operates 24 coaching inns in market towns across the UK.
Kevin Charity, chief executive of the group, said:
“We’re pleased to have added The Crown Hotel to our high quality and fast-growing estate. I’m delighted with how The Coaching Inn Group is accelerating its growth with RedCat’s support.”

The building has been in the town for centuries.
In 1569, it was known as the Manor House and was the meeting place for the Council of the North where local notables, led by the Earls of Northumberland and Westmoreland, planned to free Mary, Queen of Scots.
In the 1570s, it was turned into a Mass centre for seminary priests and local families.
