History

The Cross Keys is a Wetherspoon pub in Beverley, East Riding of Yorkshire, England. Its building, at 6–8 Lairgate, is grade II listed and is dated by the Pevsner Architectural Guide as being 'mid 1760s'. In 1770, the 'public house known by the sign of the cross keys' was advertised for sale in the York Courant newspaper. The local made directory of 1791 states that coaches ran from the Cross Keys Inn to nearby Hill. In 1809, the Inn was sold for £1,000. In 1889, the Beverley Guardian reported that the Cross Keys Hotel had a commercial room, four bedrooms and domestic quarters on the ground floor, with cellars below, and seven bedrooms on the first floor; there was also stabling for twenty horses with room for another thirty in adjoining stables. The present Wetherspoon pub has been named after the original Cross Keys.
