Pubs and churches often go together. St. Peter’s Church, its symbol - the crossed keys, is a stones throw away. Black Lion Lane used to go down to the river but is now dissected by the busy A4. The Cross Keys is a pleasant pub in a pleasant street of artisans' cottages, now fashionable and expensive. Photographs taken in the late 19th century show how the pub has changed little in the past one hundred years.

The entrance has tiles and etched glass from its Victorian roots. The front bar is plain and simple with a wooden floor and button-back leather bench- seats. The back of the pub has been opened up and serves principally as a dining area. The food is simple fayre and most main courses are under £5. Families are welcome, but they don’t dominate the pub.
