CROWN & ANGEL - St STEPHEN

John Spratt announced 25th October 1834 that he had moved (from the about to be demolished) CROWN, to the ANGEL and would rename the house the CROWN & ANGEL in respect to the many old supporters of both houses.
Mr. Spratt also advised that he would be making alterations to the house and stables in order to ensure the comfort of his Visitors. Genuine Wines and Spirits were offered.

Thomas Shaw of Gissing, announced November 1843, that he had engaged the Crown & Angel, St. Stephens, and solicited the favours of his Friends and the Public for their support.

This was thought to be inappropriate and the feast should be held at St. Andrew's Hall, and such a charge made, to allow the public in general to rejoice in a much more extended scale. (The fall of Sebastopol being one of the events to be celebrated having been announced Monday 10th September.)
