The Angel and White Horse is a pub in the town centre of Tadcaster, in North Yorkshire, in England. In the Tudor period, The Red Hart inn lay on Bridge Street in Tadcaster. By the Georgian period, it had been rebuilt as The Angel, a coaching inn. In 1855, Albert Denison, 1st Baron Londesborough, purchased the building as part of a deal to establish a hotel next door, in the former White Horse inn. He closed The Angel, and converted it into shops.Samuel Smiths Old Brewery lies behind the building. It purchased the building and converted it into its brewery tap, opening in 1977. Its name recalls both the former coaching inn and its neighbour. By the early 21st century, the pub was recognised for its food, and in the early 2010s, it was listed in the Good Beer Guide. The building was Grade II listed in 1985. The building is constructed of limestone, with some timber framing and brick. It is three storeys high, and six bays wide, with the fifth bay housing a carriage arch, and two bays having canted fronts. It retains some Tudor material, but is principally 18th century.

There are late 20th century additions at the rear, and the entrance is also 20th century.

In 1855, Albert Denison, 1st Baron Londesborough, wished to establish a hotel in the town, to put up his guests. He purchased the property, recombining the houses to create the Londesborough Arms hotel.From 1875 to 1877, the town's Anglican services were held in the hotel, while St Mary's Church was being rebuilt. The hotel remained open until 1976, when it was purchased by Samuel Smiths Old Brewery. The building was combined with the neighbouring Old Town Hall, and converted into offices for the brewery. In 1985, it was Grade II listed.The building is late 18th century, with 19th-century alterations. It is built of brick, with stone dressings and a slate roof.

The Battle of Tadcaster took place during the First English Civil War on 7 December 1642, when a Royalist force attacked the Parliamentarian garrison of Tadcaster, Yorkshire, which was held by between 900 and 1,500 soldiers under the command of Ferdinando Fairfax, Lord Fairfax. The Earl of Newcastle marched out of York on 6 December, and split his force of 6,000 into two; he took 4,000 infantry down the main York–Tadcaster road to attack the town from the east, while sending a deputy, the Earl of Newport, with a further 1,500 to circle around and trap the Parliamentarians by attacking from the north-west. Newcastle's infantry engaged the town on the morning of 7 December, but after some initial minor incursions, the battle settled into an exchange of musket fire. Newport's detachment never joined the battle. Fairfax was nevertheless forced to retreat overnight, as he was running short of gunpowder, and Newcastle occupied the town the following day. He subsequently garrisoned a number of nearby towns, and cut Fairfax off from the West Riding of Yorkshire.

Tadcaster is a market town and civil parish in North Yorkshire, England, 12 miles (19 km) north-east of Leeds and 10 miles (16 km) south-west of York. Its historical importance from Roman times onward was largely as the lowest road crossing-point on the River Wharfe until the construction of the A64 Tadcaster by-pass some 660 yards (600 m) to the south, in 1978. There are two rail crossings downstream of the town before the Wharfe joins the River Ouse near Cawood. Tadcaster is twinned with Saint-Chély-d'Apcher in France. The town was part of the West Riding of Yorkshire until 1974, but is now part of North Yorkshire. Thanks to its position on the banks of the River Wharfe parts of the town adjacent to the bridge are prone to flooding.

The Ark is a historic building on Kirkgate in Tadcaster, a town in North Yorkshire, England. The building was constructed in the late 15th century, and was altered in the 17th century. A tradition claims that the Pilgrim Fathers met at the building, to plan their voyage to the Americas. In 1672, it was known as "Morley Hall", and was owned by Robert Morley. He registered it that year as an independent meeting hall for Congregationalists, one of the first to be legally registered. The building was later converted into a pub, the Old Falcon Inn. In 1959, John Smiths Brewery purchased the building, and converted it into a museum covering local history, in particular the local brewing industry. They rebuilt part of the structure, using original timbers, and added a small extension on its left-hand side. In 1985, the building was upgraded to be Grade II* listed. The museum closed in 1988, and the building became the headquarters of Tadcaster Town Council.The building is two storeys high, and consists of a two-bay hall, and a single-bay crosswing. The building is timber-framed over a Magnesian Limestone and brick base, and the roof is covered in pantiles. The upper floor is slightly jettied, and it has an oriel window with wooden mullions. The gable is supported by two brackets, depicting the heads of a man and woman, reputed to be Noah and Noah's wife, which had led the building to be named after Noah's Ark.There is a replica of the building in Berlin Center, Ohio, which serves as an animal sanctuary.

Calcaria was a town in the Roman province of Britannia. Today, it is known as Tadcaster, located in the English county of North Yorkshire. The Romans founded the settlement and named it Calcaria from the Latin word for lime kilns, reflecting the importance of the area's Magnesian Limestone geology as a natural resource for quarrying. The nature of the settlement is uncertain. It is possible that it started as an Imperial staging post with a mansio because of its location at a river crossing on the road from Danum (Doncaster) to Eburacum (York). Just to the north-west is the Roman fort at Newton Kyme (possibly Praesidium) dating from the 4th century. Mileages on the Antonine Itinerary suggest that Calcaria may have lain well west of Tadcaster.
