The Cross Keys Inn is a Grade II listed pub in the Odd Down area of Bath in the English ceremonial county of Somerset.
The current building was erected in the late 17th or early 18th century.[1] The site was owned by Bath Priory until the Dissolution of the Monasteries. It was then owned by Hugh Sexey.[2] An inn is known to have stood on the site in 1718 and in the mid 18th century the lease was held by Ralph Allen.[2][3] It was next to a major road route and served as a coaching inn.[4]
Sexey's Hospital was the owner until 1896 when it was sold to Oakhill Brewery.[2]
The front of the building was altered in the 19th century.[1]
