Description
The Cross Keys Inn is an inn with origins in the 18th century that was rebuilt in 1832. It is constructed of brown brick in Flemish bond, with a rendered left return and a concrete tile roof. The building has an L-shaped plan, featuring a double-depth main range with a central entrance hall and a former passage to the left, which is now a room. It stands three storeys high and has four bays, with a wide bay on the left and a rounded angle on the right.
The entrance, located in the third bay, has two steps leading up to a six-beaded-panel door with a plain overlight set in a ribbed reveal and a roll-moulded architrave beneath a keyed and channelled wedge lintel. The ground floor features slightly recessed 16-pane sash windows with painted ashlar sills and similar lintels. The window to the left is inserted in a blocked former carriage opening, which has a raised stone tablet above it inscribed with "Rebuilt 1832."
The first floor has similar 16-pane sash windows, while the second floor features unequal 9-pane sash windows, all in similar surrounds. The building has a moulded wooden eaves board and a hipped roof. The right return, which faces High Street, includes single 9-pane sashes on the first and second floors of the main range, as well as a pair of ground-floor sashes and a single first-floor sash with glazing bars in the rear wing.
Inside, there is an open-well staircase with a ramped grip handrail, turned newel posts, and plain stick balusters, along with moulded cornices on the ground floor.
