Prior to the 18th century, buildings in North Lincolnshire tended to be either constructed of stone, or for the more modest, lower-class buildings, mud-and-stud was used. Regrettably, few buildings using this latter material survive, but the White Hart Inn, is such a building. At the core is a 16th century timber frame, which has subsequently been encased in brick and had a rough cast render applied. Also the roof is now covered in clay pantiles, but it was probably originally thatched. It is a grade II listed building in a conservation area of Crowle.
