The Tiverton War Memorial scheme was inaugurated in April 1919. The Angel Hotel, which formerly occupied this site, was acquired and opened as a library on 11 November 1920. An appeal was then launched to raise £11,000 for a rebuilding. A watercolour of the proposed building was prepared by Mr Ogden, headmaster of the School of Art, who seems to have influenced its design; it was intended to match the early 17th century Chilcott's School and the Great House of St George in St Peter Street. Demolition of the former Angel Hotel (which projected further into the road than the present building) began on New Year's day, 1928.
