Chichester Guildhall
Chichester Guildhall, chapel in Chichester, West Sussex, England, UK
Chichester Guildhall is a rectangular stone structure with symmetrical windows separated by buttresses that run along its outer walls. The building now houses portions of the Chichester District Museum collection and sits within Priory Park.
The building was constructed by the Grey Friars between 1270 and 1280 after they received land from Richard, Earl of Cornwall, in 1269. It stands as one of England's oldest surviving guild buildings from this medieval period.
The name reflects the craft guilds and merchants who gathered here to shape the town's commercial life. The space continues to represent this connection to local community affairs.
Access to this building is limited as it opens only for special occasions and events. It is advisable to check in advance to plan your visit and confirm availability before making the trip.
The roof maintains its original medieval construction, making it one of the rare surviving examples of this particular structure type in England. This uncommon feature makes the building especially notable for those interested in how medieval craftspeople built their gathering spaces.
