Fordwich Town Hall, Medieval town hall in Fordwich, England.
The building features a Tudor-style facade with a projecting first floor, herringbone brickwork, and a central four-light casement window along King Street.
The structure, rebuilt around 1544, contained two prison cells on the ground floor, with one under borough council control and another managed by St Augustine's Abbey.
The King's Men theatrical company, which included William Shakespeare among its members, performed in the courtroom during October 1605.
The town hall accommodates ceremonies and gatherings for up to 35 guests, with several reception venues available within walking distance.
The building houses a 13th-century muniments chest and a courtroom table from 1580, preserving centuries of local governance history.
