Guildhall,king Edward Vi Grammar School, Medieval educational building in Stratford-upon-Avon, England.

The Guildhall features timber-framed architecture with plaster infill, six leaded windows at first floor level, and an entrance with iron gates.

The Guild of the Holy Cross constructed this building between 1418 and 1420, which later became the headquarters of Stratford Borough Council until 1848.

William Shakespeare attended classes in this building during the 1570s, where he received his formal education under Master Thomas Jenkins.

The building maintains its educational purpose as part of King Edward VI School, with students attending classes in the historic rooms each day.

The restoration project in 2016 uncovered medieval wall paintings, including a depiction of John the Baptist hidden beneath centuries of whitewash.
