I think that your answer is Angel and Royal Hotel. From the history fact sheet:
Widely regarded and fondly known as the oldest surviving English Inn, the main faΓ§ade of the building that stands today was built approximately 600 years ago. The site then, however, had already been an Inn for 200 years, and was built as a hostel for the chivalrous Brotherhood of the Knights Templar. It was then that the beautifully carved building caught the eye of King John (βhe of Magna Carta fameβ) who decided it would make a suitable location for a visit of his Royal Court in 1213.
About bankrupcy:
In May 2002, the Angel & Royal was purchased by a local consortia of business professionals whose intention it is to bring this historic and much loved property back to its former glory and to retain its wonderful character that so many have come to enjoy over the last 800 years.
