Town Hall

The Town Hall in Wallingford, originally built around 1670, has undergone repairs in 1822 and alterations in 1887, with an addition made around 1933. The building features stone Doric columns on the ground floor, with some rendered brick infill at the rear. The first floor has lined render on timber framing, topped by an old plain-tile hipped roof and a brick ridge stack at the rear. It is two stories high with an attic and has a five-window range facing the Market Place. The ground floor is open and columned, while the first floor center showcases a Venetian window with glazing bars, a painted columned surround, and a balcony with a wrought iron balustrade. The building has quoins at the corners and a cornice at the eaves, along with a gabled dormer that features a Venetian window with glazing bars.

On the left side facing St. Mary's Street, there are three bays on the ground floor that are infilled, featuring 12-pane unhorned sashes with painted architrave surrounds. The first floor also has 12-pane unhorned sashes with painted architrave surrounds and cornices, along with two hipped dormers. Inside, there is a stone winder stair leading to the cellar, which has a chamfered spine beam with ogee end stops. The council chamber on the first floor includes fielded panelling to the dado and square Doric half-columns with a dentil cornice supporting the roof's tie beams. There are 8-panel doors on each side of the dais with architrave surrounds and pediments. The committee room features fielded panelling with a dentil cornice to the dado, a 18th-century stone fireplace with a 19th-century cast-iron grate, and moulded plaster panels on the ceiling. The attic reveals the curved principal roof construction. The addition from around 1933 includes an external staircase and two bays in the same style on the right return of St. Martin's Street. The council chamber was remodeled in 1887 to create a curved ceiling in celebration of Queen Victoria's Jubilee.
