Market Hall

The Market Hall, located on the north side of Amersham High Street, was built in 1682 and slightly restored in 1911. The ground floor is constructed of red brick, while the first floor features red stretchers with grey headers. It has a lead hipped old tile roof topped with an octagonal wooden cupola that includes a drum with a clock face, a round-headed open arcade, a flattened conical roof, and a gilded ball with a weather vane. The building is adorned with a modillion cornice, stone quoins, a floor band, imposts, and keyblocks.

The ground floor has round-headed open arcading, which is blocked by staircases in the northeast and northwest corners. The first floor is distinguished by six large 2-light wood mullion and transom casements with flat arches. At the center, there is a projecting cartouche supported by moulding and a console, featuring an achievement with a crest of a raised forearm and hand holding a metal axe. Each side elevation of the first floor has a central raised stone panel carved with the Drake monogram and the date 1682. Additionally, towards the north end of the east side wall, there is a pump with a lead head dated 1785.
