On Wednesday, 28th November 1817, a party was given by Mr. Charles Heading. There were 26 guests, half of which were soldiers.
On 28th January 1918, Downham Rural Food Control Committee instigated a prosecution under the Food Orders, since nineteen pounds of meat were served  as well as three ducks, the total weight being estimated at 20½ lbs. Only 5 ounces were permitted to be served to each person, while the excess served was over 8lbs by weight.
Landlord Brown had charged 7s 6d per head and no register had been kept.
The Chairman of the magistrates considered that the regulations had been broken and imposed a fine of £10 for serving the meat, 10s for not keeping a register and 10s for not keeping vouchers to certify the food purchased for the dinner.

Mr. Heading, the organiser of the party, was considered the worse offender and was fined £15 with 4s costs.
 


Watligton Angel - 25.05.1998
May 1998

May 1988


A meeting of the Proprietors of the Estates of Tottenhill met here Wednesday 14th July 1779 to settle some matters relating to an Application to Parliament concerning the Act affecting the lands within the Parish of Tottenhill.

The Watlington Bowls Club, who the village playing field, obtained a licence to provide refreshments during the summer for members, their families and visitors. In September 1977 the landlord of the Angel reported that the club sold beer at 24p a pint and their overheads for a year were much the same as his for a week. The rent of the Angel was to rise by 90% over the next three years, and by losing about a third of custom to the club, the future of the Angel was bleak.

 

Landlords Peter Overson and Shaun Bell also at the Carpenters Arms, East Winch and the Three Horseshoes at Roydon.
