The town hall, which was the headquarters of Chippenham Borough Council, is a Grade II listed building.

[2] In this context, civic leaders decided to accept the offer of the local member of parliament, Joseph Neeld, who had recently bought the nearby Grittleton House estate, to pay for a new town hall to replace the ageing Yelde Hall in the Market Place.

[4] The new building was designed by James Thomson in the neoclassical style, built in ashlar stone at a cost of £12,000 and completed in 1834.

[9][5] Following completion of a major programme of refurbishment works in 1999, the Chippenham Town Council moved their own offices into the building.

[4][10] Additional improvements were made to the air conditioning, lighting and acoustics in the Neeld Hall in 2015 to enable it to function as a community and arts centre.
