The Guildhall is a municipal facility at Register Square in Beverley, East Riding of Yorkshire, England.
[1] The building, which dates back to 1320,[2] was acquired from a householder, Edward Mynskyp, for use as a meeting place by the town officials in 1501.
[2] It was remodelled again, both internally and externally in 1832, when the original arched entrance was removed and a large portico with four Doric order columns and a pediment above, designed by Charles Mountain the Younger, was installed on the front of the building.
[2] The courtroom, located on the ground floor on the south side of the building, features a Rococo-style stucco ceiling, created by the stuccoist, Giuseppe Cortese (1704-1779), which was installed at the time of the remodelling by Middleton.
[6] The guildhall also ceased to be the local seat of government for the town when the new unitary authority, the East Riding of Yorkshire Council, was formed in 1996.
