Pub history

The Church House

This pub was built in 1810, when it was called Cross House. A century later, it was consecrated and renamed Church House. By the mid 1980s, it had become a public house of that name. Carr’s house passed to the Cadman family which, in 1912, proposed to pull it down and sell the land for building purposes. Instead, they sold it at valuation, to be adapted as a church house, and it was dedicated by the Archbishop of York on 5 July 1912.
