Town Hall, Grade I listed town hall in Bridport, England

The red brick Georgian building features five bays of arcading on its north facade and includes a prominent clock tower with a cupola.

The structure, built between 1785 and 1786 by architect William Tyler at a cost of £3,000, replaced the Chapel of St Andrew on this site.

The interior walls display Francis Newbery's murals depicting local heritage, including paintings of Joan of Navarre and historical Bridport events.

The Tourist Information Centre operates from the ground floor, providing access to the building through a lift for all visitors throughout the year.

Ten octagonal ship masts support the interior structure of the building, connecting its architecture to the maritime heritage of the region.
