Keeley Green is an area of the village of Wootton in the Borough of Bedford in Bedfordshire, England. [1] [2] It borders the parish of Kempston Rural. Keeley Green was historically a medieval settlement and there was once a village green, now "built over and/or subsumed into the agricultural land and gardens". [3] Records of The Rose and Crown public house on Keeley Lane go back to 1820. The pub was refurbished in 2012 and renamed The Legstraps. [4] Also on Keeley Lane are a number of 17th and 18th century timber-framed, Grade II listed dwellings. [5] [6] [7] On Bedford Road stand Keeley Grange, a 17th century timber-framed farmhouse [8] [9] and Pear Tree Cottage, both Grade II listed, [10] [11] plus the wildlife haven of Keeley End Pond. [12] Historical Environment Records place a moated site and earthworks at Keeley Farm. [13] An Ordnance Survey map of 1901 shows a brickworks close to the hamlet. [14]
