Blakeney Guildhall, Medieval gildhouse in Blakeney, England.

The Blakeney Guildhall features a brick-vaulted undercroft with two aisles supported by stone piers and contains original doorways and windows from its construction period.

Built in the 14th century, this structure initially served as a residence for a merchant before becoming a meeting place for Blakeney's guild of fish merchants.

The guildhall's architecture and location near the quay reflect the strong connection between Blakeney's maritime trade and the development of local commerce.

Visitors can find the guildhall via a path at the junction of Back Lane and High Street, with numerous parking spaces available along High Street.

During World War II, the basement of the guildhall functioned as a mortuary for sailors, demonstrating its adaptability to community needs through different periods.
