Bray Town Hall

The building which used to be the offices and meeting place of Bray Urban District Council now accommodates a fast-food restaurant.

[2] A fountain, with a sculpture of a rampant wyvern holding a shield depicting the coat of arms of the Brabazon family, was unveiled at the front of the site in 1881.

[3] The new building was designed by Thomas Newenham Deane and Guy Dawber in the Tudor Revival style, built by Wardrop & Son in red brick with mock timber framing at a cost of £6,359 and was completed in time for a meeting of the town commissioners on 19 May 1884.

The first floor was fenestrated by three prominent half-timbered oriel windows, surmounted by gables containing heraldic carvings in bas-relief.

Internally, the principal room was the council chamber on the first floor: it featured an elaborate timber roof, two finely carved chimney pieces and a series of colourful stained glass windows.
