Historic pub with late licence and pub food in Marlow, Buckinghamshire: The Cross Keys

The Cross Keys is an ancient inn. Its publicans are known from 1753 when  the sequence of Alehouse Recognizances in the Centre for Bucks Studies start.

It would have been part of the sale of property from the Lord of the  Manor,William Clayton, to Thomas Williams in 1790. In the 1872 return of public houses, the publican is Henry Cresswell, the owner is Colonel Williams of Temple House, Bisham, and the lessors are Messrs Wethered, Great Marlow. 

The Cross Keys would have been part of the sale of the Williams property in  1905, when  it was probably bought by Wethereds.
