History of Tewkesbury Town Hall

Early History (1500s-1700s)

The site where the current town hall stands was originally occupied by a medieval guildhall, which dated back to the 1500s. This guildhall was used by the local merchants and traders as a meeting place and center for trade.

Construction of the Current Building (1700s)

In the early 18th century, the medieval guildhall was demolished, and a new town hall was built on the same site. The current building was constructed between 1708 and 1710, using local stone and timber. The building's design was influenced by the Georgian style, which was popular during that period.

Uses of the Building (1700s-1900s)

Over the years, Tewkesbury Town Hall has served various purposes, including:

1. Courtroom: The building was used as a courtroom, with the local magistrates holding sessions to dispense justice.
2. Council Chamber: The town hall was also used as a meeting place for the local council, where they would discuss and decide on matters related to the town.
3. Market Hall: The building's ground floor was used as a market hall, where local traders would sell their goods.
4. Prison: The town hall also had a small prison, where offenders would be held before being taken to the local gaol.
