Origins of "Cross Keys" as a Pub Name
Crossed keys are the sign of St Peter, the gatekeeper of heaven in the Christian religion. Pubs called The Cross Keys are often found close to churches dedicated to St Peter and often patronised by worshippers after the Sunday service. Many pubs were established by the church.
What's a Canonical Name?
To simplify searches, each pub on our database has a Canonical Name - usually a shortened version of its full name missing out any common prefixes and suffixes like "The Old", "Inn", "Tavern" and so on.
This means that "The Old Crown", "The Crown Inn" and "Ye Olde Crown Taverne" are known canonically as, simply, "Crown".
We've also dropped the "The", standarised with "and" instead of "&" and in some cases simplified pluralisation.
