John Day, who kept the Cross-Keys at Redgrave, was this day (14th November 1755) committed to (Ipswich) Gaol... for harbouring and concealing Herring the Highwayman, and offering to buy Mr Bacon's Watch of him, at a low Price, when he knew it to be stolen.Ipswich Journal, 15 Nov 1755***
The annual Sparrow Club tea was held in April 1870 at the Cross Keys Inn, Redgrave, and the catering of Mr & Mrs Andrews gave much satisfaction, and reflected great credit upon them…
