This Pub is Permanently Closed

Former two bar pub which is located adjacent to the Town Cross where it would have been the custom in ancient days for locals to meet in order to obtain news from the travellers who descended from their coach, or to hearken to the words of a local preacher. Now an "American-style diner". NB Not to be confused with another Cross in the town, called Roger's Cross, located where the King's Arms once stood. Although 1652 is marked on the building, it is thought to be considerably older than this. The 1904 Woodbridge licensing records show that the Cross's licence was issued in 1652. Photographs of this Grade II Listed pub and more up-to-date and detailed information about it can be found at suffolk.camra.org.uk/pub/1029

Thomas Garthwaite, curate of St. Lawrence, Ipswich, in 1617 was rector of Blaxhall 1652. The landlord of The Cross in 1762 was John Harris (rental £12) A report in the Ipswich Journal** in Dec 1830 states that : Monday died, at Woodbridge, Mr Francis Moore, of the Cross Inn.
