Grange Court, Timber market hall in Leominster, England
The structure features carved decorations of mermaids, angels, animals, flowers, and figures across its oak timber framework at Church Street entrance.
Built in 1633 by master carpenter John Abel, this market house was dismantled and relocated from its original position to the current site in 1859.
The ornate entablature contains multiple carved texts presenting moral messages that reflect the social values and beliefs of seventeenth-century England.
The building operates as a community center from Monday to Saturday between 10:00 and 16:00, offering rooms for events, a cafe, and office spaces.
Nine different guilds conducted their meetings in this former market house, which was later saved from becoming William Randolph Hearst's gatehouse in 1939.
