    The 'Sign of the Angel' Public House/Inn, Lacock, Wiltshire
    The 'Sign of the Angel' Public House/Inn, Lacock, Wiltshire
    The village of Lacock, Wiltshire, lies just to the south of the Cotswolds. Originally a centre of the medieval wool trade and part of the estate of Lacock Abbey, the whole village is now owned by the National Trust. Here, there are no television aerials, no yellow lines, and no overhead cables. Lacock Abbey was founded in 1232 and converted into a Country House around 1540. It was once the home of William Henry Fox Talbot (1800-1877), inventor of the negative/positive photographic process whose descendants gave the Abbey and the village to The National Trust. The Abbey is now home to the Fox Talbot photographic museum.

    The name "Sign of the Angel", derives from a coin. The coin was first minted in 1461 under the reign of Edward IV. It's value was 6 shillings and eight pence. By 1547 its value had reached ten shillings, as a result of the extravagant spending habits of Henry VIII and an early example of inflation. It remained a ten shilling gold coin until production ceased in 1643 during the reign of Charles I.

    The Angel was probably purpose built as an inn during the 15th Century, however, the first documentary evidence appears on the 1764 estate map... "an house, the Angel and its appurtenances 39 perches". The tenant, Martha Bromham, also leased a close and willow bed of 1 acre 4 perches.

    The Angel also appears in the Alehouse registers for 1822-1827. By 1843 it is described as "Angel public house, stable yard and gardens".

    By 1871, however the Angel appears to have been divided into two properties and by the 1881 census there are three households living in the Angel. In 1916, the present kitchens were built, at which time the building was a simple private house; then in 1953 Mr and Mrs Levis took the Angel and it once more became an inn.
