Description: The Old Angel public house was originally called Bugge Hall, built in the 13th(?) or 14th(?) century by Ralph Bugge, a wealthy wool merchant. He later bought land and migrated to Willoughby-on-the-Wolds where he changed his name to Willoughby and became the founder of the great Willoughby family which later became the Lords Middleton of Wollaton Hall. After Bugge Hall was demolished, the site at the corner of St. Mary's Gate and High Pavement became Booth Edison's house (an eminent surgeon), built in 1820. All that was left to remind us of the presence of the Old Angel is the name of Angel Yard, off High Pavement, to the left just out of the picture here. The picture also shows the gateway to St Mary's Churchyard.
