The Council Chamber And Assembly Room, Grade II listed building in Chichester, England

The Council Chamber and Assembly Room stands on North Street with red brick construction and four stone Ionic columns supporting an arcade.

This municipal building, completed in 1731 under architect Roger Morris, replaced the Chichester Guildhall that held City Council meetings since the mid-16th century.

The Assembly Room hosted performances by renowned musicians Niccolò Paganini and Franz Liszt during their tours in the early nineteenth century.

The Assembly Rooms accommodate up to 180 seated guests and remain available for various functions while maintaining regular council meetings.

A Purbeck Marble stone discovered during construction bears inscriptions from King Tiberius Claudius Cogidubnus, indicating a Roman temple location.
