The ''[[Angel and Royal]]'' in the High Street is reputedly the oldest inn in England. The present façade was built about 600 years ago, but the site had already held an inn for 200 years before that, and its origins are older still, as a hostel for the [[Knights Templar]]. [[John I of England|King John]] is reputed to have visited with his Royal Court in 1213. A visit by [[Richard III of England|Richard III]] was the origin of the gold emblem angel holding the King's crown over the original archway. Other royal visitors include [[Charles I of England|King Charles I]], [[George IV]] and [[Edward VII]], when [[Prince of Wales]], leading to the inclusion of "Royal" in the inn's name.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.angelandroyal.co.uk/about-us|title=History|publisher=Angel and Royal|access-date=24 September 2023}}</ref>
