New owner gives Angel & Royal Hotel in Grantham a major facelift Published: 17:20, 07 February 2021
Granthamâs oldest hotel has undergone a complete refurbishment after being bought in a £1.75 million deal.
The 13th century Angel & Royal Hotel, in High Street, was sold by Ashdale Hotels last year to Dean Harrison, an experienced hotelier who was born and bred in Grantham.
After being closed since last year due to the Covid-19 pandemic, Dean spoke to the Journal this week about some of the changes he has made to the 31-room hotel, and to unveil his plans for the historic building in the future.
Support for first Grantham town centre Advent window tour was phenomenal
âPhenomenalâ feedback has delighted organisers of the first-ever Grantham town centre Advent window tour.
The tour both began and ended with windows unveiled at St Wulframâs Church, on December 1 and Christmas Eve.
It was the idea of Laura Cradduck and husband Father Stuart Cradduck, rector of St Wulframâs Church, and they are thrilled with how well supported it was.

Fr Stuart said: âWeâve been delighted at both the take up of the challenge and indeed how each business responded to the call.
âThere have been some absolutely brilliant entries and we are so grateful that each of these took the time to take part, especially when life has been so difficult for local businesses this year.
