Town Hall

The Town Hall in Malmesbury was built in 1854, with an extension added in 1927, and incorporates elements from the 17th century at the rear. The building features a squared, coursed limestone facade, with coursed rubble and dressings on the returns and rear, along with ashlar gable stacks and a stone slate roof. It is designed in the Tudor Revival style and has a double-depth plan.

The exterior is two storeys high and has a three-window range, with a three-storey, three-window range extension on the left. The symmetrical front displays diagonal buttresses, a first-floor drip mould, a cornice, a central coped gable, and coped end gables. The ground floor has four-centre arched openings with drips, a narrower opening on the left that features a central doorway with a ridge door, and a three-light mullion and transom window on the right. The tall second-floor flat-headed window includes nine-light mullion and transom windows, and there is a central twelve-light canted oriel with a moulded base and top.

The right-hand return gables have moulded stacks, while the rear elevation includes a 17th-century two-storey tower with a small four-centre arched doorway. The right-hand extension has wide four-centre arched ground-floor openings, three-light and a central first-floor four-light mullion windows, along with a central gable and finial. The left-hand return mirrors this with a similar two-window arrangement.

Inside, the Town Hall has been largely remodelled in the mid-20th century, featuring a first-floor hall with a proscenium arch.
