Description
The Cross Keys Inn is a hostelry that now serves as a public house and dwelling. It dates from 1742, as indicated by a datestone, but may be older. The building is constructed of brick and features a stone slate roof, with a left gable stack and a stone stack at the rear right. It is two stories high and has three structural bays, with a central carriage entrance flanked by public rooms. The entrance is accessed from the carriageway. To the left, there is a part stone wing with two bays that was extended in the 19th century to serve as a forge.
The elevation consists of five bays, made of dark brick with finer red brick dressings around the openings. There is a plat band and short aprons. The carriageway has a three-centred arch with fielded and panelled doors. The windows feature gauged brick arches, all with projecting keystones. The ground floor has 19th-century four-pane sash windows, and to the right, there is a 19th-century canted bay. One window has been altered. On the first floor, there are 16-pane sash windows. The building has brick dentilled eaves. Inside, there are chamfered spine beams with checked swept stops. The site was once associated with John Knighton, a 17th-century token issuer and mercer.
