The Guildhall, Grade II* listed town hall in Sandwich, England

The Guildhall features an asymmetrical main frontage with six bays facing the forecourt, constructed with yellow brick and medieval architectural elements.

Constructed in 1579, the building replaced earlier guildhalls and underwent significant renovations in 1812 when the structure was encased in yellow brick.

The council chamber displays important historical documents, including original copies of Magna Carta and the Charter of the Forest from 1300.

The building functions as the meeting place for Sandwich Town Council, with offices and spaces available for civic functions and public events.

The interior contains panels by Willem van de Velde the Younger and a stained glass window depicting Queen Elizabeth I's arrival at Sandown Gate.
