Town Hall

Tamworth Town Hall is a neoclassical structure built in red brick with stone detailing, distinguished by a ground floor arcade of eighteen Doric columns and rounded windows on the upper level. Its first floor contains an assembly hall and administrative spaces for municipal operations.

Thomas Guy, a local Member of Parliament, funded this neoclassical building's construction in 1701, replacing a medieval structure previously located on Market Street. The new town hall quickly became the principal administrative center for the growing town.

This building has served as the focal point for civic gatherings and local ceremonies since its opening. It remains a symbol of municipal governance and community life in the town.

The building serves as the headquarters of Tamworth Borough Council and can be visited during scheduled public events and gatherings. Its central location makes it easy to find and a natural reference point when exploring the town center.

A hexagonal louvre crowns the roof, topped by an ogival cupola and weathervane that serves as a distinctive landmark visible from several vantage points around town. These decorative roof elements have become an identifying feature recognized by residents and visitors alike.
