The Anglian Stage is the name used in the British Isles for a middle Pleistocene glaciation. It precedes the Hoxnian Stage and follows the Cromerian Stage in the British Isles. It correlates to Marine Isotope Stage 12 (MIS 12),[2][3][4] which started about 478,000 years ago and ended about 424,000 years ago.[5][6]
