The original Guildhall was badly damaged by an air raid in 1942 but has since been sensitively restored. Fortunately, the Inner Chambers' walls, dating from the 15th century, were made of stone and so escaped serious damage and now form the foundation of the reconstruction. The history of the building is very interesting and includes many a Royal visit; from the Queen Mother in 1960, right back to 1483 when the notorious Richard III was a guest there. The sequence of events is told through a number of storyboards forming part of the new exhibition, which has recently opened.
