Corn Hall Buildings, Grade II listed building in Market Place, Cirencester, England.
Corn Hall Buildings is a Grade II listed structure on Market Place in Cirencester featuring a symmetrical five-bay façade with Corinthian pilasters and wrought iron railings in Italianate style. Its interior was completely renovated in 2008 with contemporary facilities for retail and events.
Local businessmen founded the Corn Hall Company in 1863 to construct this exchange building on the former site of a 16th-century market house. The structure reflected growing grain trade importance in the region at that time.
The building served as a grain and agricultural trading center before becoming a place for shopping, exhibitions, and community events today. Its transformation shows how a working market space adapted to serve modern leisure and cultural needs.
The building sits directly on Market Place in central Cirencester and is easily accessible on foot. Modern interior facilities support various uses, so visitors may find different activities depending on current events and bookings.
A 2016 plaque unveiling honoring drummer Cozy Powell drew musicians including Brian May and Tony Iommi to the building. The event highlighted the structure's link to the region's music heritage.
