Description
The Cross Keys Inn is a public house located on Ely Street, Stratford-upon-Avon. It likely dates back to around 1600, but was significantly altered and refaced in the 18th century. The building is constructed of painted brick with an internal timber frame, and has a slate roof with a brick rear stack. It presents a symmetrical 3-window facade of Georgian style, with the central bay projecting slightly and topped by a pediment. A modillioned brick cornice runs along the top of the building. The main entrance is situated to the right of the central window, set under a long lintel with a key stone and decorative label mould. Flanking the entrance are bay windows, and a segmental-headed entrance is on the left end of the building. All doors and ground-floor windows are 20th-century replacements. The first floor features segmental-headed windows with 12-pane sashes in moulded frames. The pediment includes a small-paned lunette window, a notable feature within Stratford. A sign bracket is present, with ornate wrought-iron cresting. The interior reveals exposed timber framing and chamfered beams.
