Built in the 14th century this magnificent, timbered, medieval guildhall is one of the best surviving examples of its kind and is of major national importance. How the ancient medieval guild functioned can still be seen as visitors are shown around the three main areas consisting of The Great Hall, The Undercroft [also known as the Hospital] and The Chapel. The Chapel was rebuilt in the early 15th century and is situated at the far end of the Undercroft. The records show that it was once richly decorated with stained glass windows, and with exquisitely made cloths adorning its five altars, which were enhanced by beautifully carved images. Admission: adults £2.50; concessions £2; children 7-17 £1; under 7s free. A special family ticket is available.
