3 The Angel public house, Church Street, Atherstone. Historic public house recorded on Pigot's, F. White and Co.'s, and Victuallers' databases. The latter shows it in existence in 1801. Situated on the west side of Church Street, within the medieval settlement area.
4 Meeson and Vero suggest, using visible, limited evidence of the building's structure, that the oldest parts of the Angel inn could have been built within a couple of decades either side of 1500. They go on to add that the first identifiable innholder is Richard Robinson who was an occuplant of the building in 1652. A room inventory from 1721 lists 15 beds in some 10 rooms.

Description  
period Medieval 1066 AD to 1539 AD (the 11th century AD to the 16th century AD)

The medieval period comes after the Saxon period and before the post medieval period.

The Medieval period begins in 1066 AD.
This was the year that the Normans, led by William the Conqueror (1066 – 1087), invaded England and defeated Harold Godwinson at the Battle of Hastings in East Sussex.
The Medieval period includes the first half of the Tudor period (1485 – 1603 AD), when the Tudor family reigned in England and eventually in Scotland too.

The end of the Medieval period is marked by Henry VIII’s (1509 – 1547) order for the Dissolution of the Monasteries in the years running up to 1539 AD. The whole of this period is sometimes called the Middle Ages.
