Viewed across the A370 Main Road. The former village inn is now in residential use as two dwellings named Old Angel Cottage and Old Angel. No doubt the inn was named with reference to its location opposite the village church. http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3713797 A poignant sentence in a brief history of the village records that (in the decades after the Second World War) "the village grocer, general store and post office all followed the Angel Inn, brew house, butcher, carpenter, smithy and tannery into oblivion." Similar losses have occurred in many other villages in the UK.
