Norwich Guildhall, Medieval civic hall in Norwich, England
The Norwich Guildhall stands as a municipal structure with checkered flint and stone patterns adorning its eastern facade and large assembly chambers within its walls.
Built between 1407 and 1413 following King Henry IV's charter, the Guildhall functioned as Norwich's administrative center until the establishment of City Hall in 1938.
The Great Chamber of the Guildhall hosted judicial proceedings, quarter sessions, and magistrates' courts, reflecting the evolution of England's legal system through centuries.
The building houses exhibition spaces on multiple levels, with guided tours available that showcase the former prison cells, council chambers, and courtroom areas.
Within the structure lies an undercroft that once served as a dungeon, where Thomas Bilney was held before his execution in 1531.
