Description
The Angel Hotel is an inn that dates from the mid-17th century but was rebuilt in the late 18th and 19th centuries. It features painted brickwork in either Flemish bond or English garden wall bond, with a tiled half-hipped roof and brick stacks. The building has a baffle entry to the left range and is two stories high with three windows. The left range includes double doors with six fielded panels set in a moulded architrave, topped with a pedimented porch supported by turned posts. To the left of the doors is a 12-pane flush sash window, while to the right are a two-light flush mullioned casement and a canted bay window with eight-pane sashes. A moulded string course runs over the pedimented door. On the first floor, there is a 12-pane sash window and two two-light flush mullioned casements, both in beaded architraves. The building features notable lead rainwater heads on either side of the front, with the initials RAA and the year 1692; the right head also displays a lion's head.
To the right, there is a 19th-century range that has a blocked carriage entry, which now serves as a 20th-century hotel entrance, along with double garage doors and a 20th-century cart entry. The first floor of this range has two three-light casements and one two-light casement. The right return of the building is made of rubble stone, while the left return has a plate-glazed sash and a blocked window on the ground floor, along with a two-light recessed chamfered mullioned casement in the attic. The rear range contains casements and has 20th-century extensions attached to the ground floor.
Inside the south range, there are deeply chamfered beams and good doors with two fielded panels in moulded architraves. Historically, the Angel Hotel was significant as the location where the last Parliamentary election for a Heytesbury Member of Parliament was held in 1831, before the village lost its status as a 'rotten borough' with the passage of the 1832 Reform Bill.
