A Cross Keys is recorded in Leicester Journals and Chronicle as being in Church Gate in a court case in November 1833, and also in an advert of 1837.
Two cases involving Cross Keys Nathaniel Warren of the Cross Keys Church Gate informed on by Moses Pegg and in 1834 Charles Noble of the same pub fined 40/- plus cost open after 10pm.
A George Sharp was charged with assaulting John Haynes on the 20th of February 1843, at the Cross Keys Church Gate. He was fined 7/6 for throwing some sheep’s trotters at him before knocking him to the ground.
Exact location not known, but probably stood near St. Margaret’s Church. Not known if there was a name change.
July 1836 Moses Pegg was still bringing charges against landlords, although now the official Police force had been formed and was gradually taking over matters, This together with more and more cases bought by Pegg bring contradicted was to throw doubt by the authorities on Peggs intentions, this view had been widely believed by licensees for a few years. So Nathan Warren of the Cross Keys was charged by Moses Pegg of allowing gambling in his house. Much to the discharge of Pegg the magistrates dismissed the case, preferring to believe the landlord. Peggs reign was nearing its end, he had recently been on the end of beatings, chased through the town by irate licensees and customers alike, as we shall see he wasnt quite finished,
