BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Guildford Guildhall is a Guildhall located on the High Street of the town of Guildford, Surrey. It is a Grade I listed building. The Guildhall, which initially accommodated a market hall on the ground floor and a courtroom on the first floor, was built around 1550. It was substantially remodelled with a new facade and a new council chamber being installed on the first floor in 1683. The external design involved three doors on the ground floor, three mullion windows flanked by Ionic order pilasters augmented by a balcony with iron railings on the first floor and an ornamental cupola on the roof. The projecting clock, erected at that time, was presented to the council by a London clockmaker, John Aylward, in return for being allowed to trade in the borough. The interior design involved a courtroom on the ground floor and a council chamber on the first floor.[3] The panelling in the council chamber was taken from Stoughton Manor House shortly before it was demolished in the late 17th century. The ornamental cupola was replaced in 1882. Please explore my ebay shop for more antique prints. Track Page Views With Auctiva's FREE Counter
