Town Hall

The Town Hall is a Grade II* listed building featuring a whitewashed rubble tower and gaol, with a rendered hall and porch, plinth, and rusticated quoins. It has slate roofs, with a pyramidal roof on the tower and hipped roofs on the gaol and hall at the northern end. The gabled porch has bargeboards and a finial. A bellcote, originally housing a bell by Abraham Rudhall, and a weathercock were added to the tower in 1786. The clock faces on the north and south sides are set in freestone surrounds with hood moulds and keystones, dated 1896, although a contract from 1891 indicates that M Williams and J Jones were engaged to renew "the clock tower and turret" for £30. The building features recessed Gothick sash windows from 1814, with cills over segmental openings and voussoir lintels, which previously led to the market and are now closed by iron railings. A similar detail is found on one window at the northern end. There are two plain sash windows on the southeast side above an arched hooded porch.

Inside, the first floor retains a courtroom with a timber dais and ornate iron bracketed lamps, from which the Portreeve conducts meetings of the Laugharne Corporation, a unique form of local government in Wales. The eastern wall features a Regency fireplace. The building has also served as a school and a public library in the past.
