Angel Inn, Cook Street

Alternative Addresses:	Cook Street Square
This was an ancient inn, as it is recorded in 1480 as being on the Prior's ground. The Angel in Cook Street only assumed the title of Hotel in its latter years, from 1919. This is a sign used since the Middle Ages reflecting the connection between religious establishments and travellers' inns and hostels at that time.
