What was said about Marlow all the way back in 1928?

I recently added to my large collection of local vintage guide books with the 1920s R.A.C/Burrows Maps publication. A nice little slim edition of photographs, colour maps, Places To See and a large number of adverts for hotels, restaurants and garages, not many of which still exist. The editors seem to be especially keen on listing golf courses. I was initially startled to see the owners of Marlow’s Crown Hotel, Mr & Mrs Rutledge, claiming in their advert that the building dated from the 16th Century. In fact in 1928 it would have been just 120 years old. In the previous Century there had been a Lower Crown further down the High Street, possibly there was some confusion with that.
