Market House, Market hall in Ledbury, England

The Market House stands on sixteen oak pillars with a timber frame filled with brick, featuring an upper floor and spaces underneath for merchants.

Construction of the Market House began in 1617 through public subscriptions collected by John Phillips, reaching completion in 1668 after his death.

The building has maintained its original function as a marketplace for over three centuries, operating under a charter issued by Queen Elizabeth I.

Markets operate beneath the Market House every Tuesday and Saturday, while the upper floor hosts exhibitions and community gatherings.

In 2006, engineers lifted the entire structure 600 millimeters to replace damaged timber while preserving the original 17th-century framework.
