From The Angel Inn
The Angel In is Andover's oldest and most historic Inn and is almost as old as Andover itself.
Situated at the top of the High Street in Andover it is said to be the seventh oldest public house in England. A stretch of wall in the back corridor dates back to the year 1174 when Henry II was King of England.
Throughout its long existence The Angel has hosted many Royal visitors. King John who gave Andover its Royal charter in 1201 is thought to have stayed at the Inn. Later both Edward I and Edward II visited the Inn. Another notable visitor was Catherine of Aragon, Henry VIIs first wife, who stayed in 1501.
It is said that the Angel is not haunted by royalty or noble guests but by two elderly farmers.
