Description
The Town Hall, dated 1840, is located on Victoria Street in Painswick. It is constructed of good limestone ashlar with a plain tile roof and is designed in a 19th-century Tudor style. The building features a gable facing the street and is set forward from the adjoining building on the right. The gable has a saddle-back coped design with double stepped kneelers and a quatrefoil commemorative panel. Below the gable, there are five-light hollow chamfer case-ments with pointed heads and a square stopped hood at both the ground and first floors, all above a moulded offset plinth. To the right, there is a single-storey lean-to with a plank door in a moulded surround, accessed by four steps. Behind this lean-to is a swept-down extension with a prominent stack that has two separated flues set diagonally and capped. The interior retains simple original details. This building replaced an earlier town hall that was demolished in 1840. From 1844 to 1867, an upper room in the new building, then known as Stock House, served as an Endowed School.
