My great great grandmother Alice Anderson was running the Cross Keys Keys in Huttoft 1871. She took the pub over from her husband Joseph Anderson who was shown at the same address in 1861 as a innkeeper and farmer but the inn was not named. By 1891 her son Samuel was running the pub.

From Lincolnshire Heritage:

A former public house in existence from at least 1825 which was still open in 1960 and probably closed in the late 20th century; it is now a dwelling. The building is constructed of rendered brick with two storeys with a pantile pitched roof with gable chimney stacks. There is a one and a half storey one-and-a-half storey range on the eastern side of the main rectangular-plan range. The front elevation of the main range has an off-centre door with overlight on the ground floor, flanked by two sash windows. The first floor front elevation has three two-over-two sash windows.
