The Old Guildhall

The Old Guildhall is a house that dates from the late 16th century, with possible earlier origins, and features a rear wing that is likely from the 17th century. It has undergone renovations in the 20th century. The building is timber-framed and rendered, with a red brick stack and a thatched roof, although some plain tiles are present on the rear. It has a T-plan layout, consisting of a two-storey, three-cell front range and a single-storey rear wing.

There is evidence of a former lobby entry, but the current entrance is through a 20th-century brick porch on the left side. The windows are 2-light horizontal sashes with glazing bars. A date plaque around 1550 is associated with the 20th-century renovation. The roof has an off-centre ridge stack and is hipped. The rear cross wing features a red brick stack at the gable end.

Inside, some of the framing is exposed, showing jowled posts and wall studding. There are grooves for shutters and diamond mullion mortices on the left return wall. The hall has a deep chamfered beam and exposed joists, with stairs located behind the stack. The tie beams are cambered, and one in the right end room has a centred pegged mortice, which may relate to a former crown post. The roof has clasped purlins. There is no evidence to support the building's status as a guildhall.
