| 説明 | Back to Saturday Market Place.On the left is the Guildhall of the Holy and Undivided Trinity. Or as one of the plaques says - Hall of the Guild of the Holy and Undivided Trinity.I was suprised to find the Town Hall and the older Guildhall had the same architectural design. I guess that back in 1895 the architects decided that the Town Hall should look similar to the Guildhall. Perhaps both are used by the local council.It is a Grade I listed building.On this side are two sets of Coat of arms. One of Elizabeth I and one of James I (or Charles II)This is the coat of arms of Elizabeth I. It looks damaged or is missing a bit (maybe they are restoring it?)Guildhall (of the Holy and Undivided Trinity), now part ofcivic accommodation. 1422-28; porch and interior alterationsof 1624.Brick with ashlar and flint dressings. Plain tiled roofs.Narrow site, set gable-end to street. Two elements. To right(east) is the gabled guildhall proper, with the Stone Hallforming the upper 2 floors and lit through a 7-lightPerpendicular arched window with panel tracery. Moulded jambs.Stone string course divides this from ground floor.Ground floor is a brick undercroft used, when built, to storethe guilds goods. Originally entered through 2 timberdoorways, these removed and replaced with two 2-light,round-arched Y-tracery windows. One small 2-light windowflanks right and left. Polygonal corner turrets closeelevation and rise to gabled roof. Whole of facade decoratedwith knapped flint squares alternating with stone squares toproduce chequered flushwork.Original entrance to Stone Hall was via a dog-leg staircaseagainst west wall.
