Description

The Cross Keys Public House, located at No 30 on Kirkgate in Thirsk, is a public house and adjoining house that likely dates back to the 16th century. It features a timber frame that is encased in reddish brown brick, with a section of cruck visible in the north wall. The front wall has a stone plinth, and there is a row of large stones at the base of the north wall. The building has dentilled eaves and a string course at the first floor level, topped by a steep pantile roof. It is two storeys high and consists of four bays. The entrances, which were added in the 19th century, have wooden doorcases and there are two canted bays on the ground floor. The windows are squat sash types with segmental arched heads set in flush cases. Inside, sections of massive chamfered beams can be seen on the ceilings of the ground floor.
