Town House (Ashwell Museum)

The Town House, now known as Ashwell Museum, is a house built around 1500, with a rear extension added in the early to mid-19th century and restored in the 20th century. The building features an exposed timber frame with plaster infill and has a plain tile gable end roof. It stands two storeys high, with the upper floor jettied on bull-nose joists and supported by curved brackets. The structure has close-set wide studs.

On the ground floor, there is a door on the right with a 4-centre head, and to the left, a pair of casement windows with renewed arches and mullions. The upper floor includes two 4-light casements with hollow-carved mullions and square leading. The east elevation has one similar window on both the ground and first floors, with a wide 18th to 19th-century external chimney stack to the left. The rear section is made of plastered brick and features a 3-light Yorkshire casement on the upper floor, with single 2-light Yorkshire casements at the rear on the west side and two ground floor mullioned windows at the front.

Inside, the museum showcases a crown post roof and an open fireplace. The building is also designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument.
