The Guildhall, Grade II* listed gildhouse in Market Place, Faversham, England

The Guildhall features a symmetrical structure with a ground floor arcade supported by three rows of octagonal columns and a council chamber on the first floor.

Originally constructed as a market hall in 1574, the building transformed into the Guildhall in 1605 and underwent major reconstruction in 1814 following fire damage.

The council chamber contains wooden panels displaying a continuous record of Faversham mayors since the 13th century, including photographs from the early 1800s.

The building now serves as a meeting place for Faversham Town Council and received approval to host weddings and civil partnership ceremonies in January 2019.

The clock tower consists of four sections topped with an octagonal cupola and leaden dome, featuring a ball and weather vane at its highest point.
