Exeter Guildhall, Medieval guildhall in High Street, Exeter, England.
The Exeter Guildhall structure features a granite columned portico, decorated corbels, and an ornate Italian-style facade dating from the 1590s.
The building, completed between 1468 and 1470, includes timber-framed walls from 1466 and served as a location for Judge Jeffreys' Bloody Assizes in 1685.
The main chamber contains wooden panels adorned with heraldic escutcheons displaying the arms of past City Corporation officials and local nobility.
Visitors can explore the 14th-century cellar, former prison areas, and council chamber during guided tours organized by the Exeter City Council.
The structure maintains its position as England's longest-operating municipal building, with continuous civic use spanning over 600 years at the same location.
