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]
