Description
The Old Guildhall is a late 15th to early 16th century timber-framed and plastered house that has undergone significant later alterations and was renovated in the 20th century. A modern inscription indicates the date 1470. The building has two storeys, featuring a jettied upper storey that extends across the entire front, supported by curved brackets with moulded capitals from former shafts. There are four windows on the front, consisting of double-hung sashes with glazing bars. The ground storey includes three 3-light sashes and one single light window. At the north end, there is a 20th-century recessed entranceway. The roof is tiled. Inside, the building showcases well-crafted carved ceiling beams and joists.
