The Guildhall is a timber framed building, with the earliest part dating from c. 1390. It once acted as the town hall for the city until the current one was commissioned in 1876.

It is reputed that William Shakespeare appeared here in the late 16th century. Part of the Shakespeare legend is that Shakespeare first came across the local tale of King Leir whilst appearing at the Guildhall and this inspired him to write his own play King Lear.
