Description

The Old Angel Inn is an inn that has been converted into a house. It dates back to the 16th century but has undergone significant modifications. The building is constructed from local stone coursed rubble and features a Welsh slate roof with plain gables and decorative clay ridge tiles, along with brick end chimney stacks. It has an 'L' plan and consists of two storeys with three bays. The windows are late 20th century small pane casements, with three-light windows below in flat-headed openings and two-light windows above in voussoired segmental arched openings.

Inside, there are several interesting features, including scroll stop chamfered beams, two wide fireplaces, and a 17th-century doorway that was originally external. There is also the base of what appears to be a jointed cruck. Most of these features are located in the rear portion of the building. Notably, in the rear wall of the south room on the first floor, there is a 17th-century two-light window frame that is glazed with horn, which is one of only two examples recorded in Somerset; this window now looks into the roof void of a later extension.

The history of the building is not well documented, but it became known as the Railway Inn in the 19th century and later as the Angel Inn.
