The Council Chamber And Assembly Room
The Council Chamber And Assembly Room, Grade II listed building in Chichester, England
The Council Chamber and Assembly Room sits on North Street with red brick walls and four stone Ionic columns framing an arched entrance. The space inside holds up to 180 people and serves both municipal functions and public events.
The building was completed in 1731 by architect Roger Morris as a replacement for an older guildhall that served council purposes since the mid-1500s. Its construction marked a significant moment in the city's modernization.
The Assembly Room served as a concert venue in the 1800s when traveling musicians performed for local audiences. This role made it a gathering place for the city's social and cultural life during that era.
The building sits right on North Street in the city center and is easy to reach on foot. Access can be limited depending on scheduled events or council meetings, so it is best to check ahead before visiting.
During construction, workers uncovered a marble stone carved with inscriptions from King Tiberius Claudius Cogidubnus from Roman times. This finding suggests a Roman temple once occupied this same ground.
