Journey back through history in the most atmospheric building in Totnes.

The Guildhall has been the home of the Town Council for over 450 years. Take a look at the boards in the Lower Hall on which over 600 mayors are listed in
gold leaf.

Come and see the beautiful premises, which were rebuilt as the meeting place of the Merchant Guild, and feel the history at the former local Magistrates’
Court which was used from 1624 to 1974.

See the original cells where, until 1887, prisoners awaited trial and punishment. Climb the 17th century stairs to the elegant Council Chamber, with its plaster frieze and the table where Oliver Cromwell sat in
1646, and admire the ceremonial robes, most of them still in use, in the Mayor’s Parlour.

The Guildhall, peacefully situated on Ramparts Walk,behind the busy High Street, is full of fascinating objects and memories.
