I work not to far from the NT village of Lacock so I sometimes stop by there at lunch time. Here is a shot of one of the well known buildings & a bit of history.
The Sign of the Angel Inn
This 15th century inn, formerly a wool merchants house is a fine example of a Traditional English pub. Oak beams, log fires, polished wood floors, and antique furniture add to its cosy 'lived in' atmosphere. The name, ‘The Sign of the Angel’ derives from the gold ‘Angel’ coin that was current at the time.
The inn is said to be haunted by the ghost of an elderly woman, who has been frequently seen over the past 15 years or so. She is believed to be one of the previous owners who just refuses to leave. A friendly soul by all accounts, who has been spotted several times by staff and diners patiently sitting at one of the tables in the lounge bar. She has also been seen in one or two of the guest bedrooms. A friendly spirit to some maybe, but not to a certain carpet fitter who, in 1980 whilst laying stair carpet, experienced the ghost firsthand as she appeared right in front of him. Suffice-to-say, he left the premises in somewhat of a rush, vowing never to return.
