[2] This structure was replaced by a second building on the same site referred to as the "guildhall"; it was designed in the neoclassical style with a colonnade, a lock-up and a courtroom and was completed in 1804.

[2] It was expanded, as a gift from Sir Edmund Antrobus, 1st Baronet, to create a market hall and an assembly room in 1823.

[3] Congleton Town Council, which was created in 1980, established offices in the building in January 2007 and acquired its freehold in June 2008.

[3] The Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall visited the town hall and met with local charities and community groups on 24 January 2018.

[14][15] Works of art in the town hall include a silver gilt ceremonial mace which originally bore the words "The Freedome of England by God's Blessing Restored" and the date of manufacture which was 1651 but, after the restoration of the monarchy, it was altered to show the initials "C. R." (Charles Rex) and given an amended date of 1661.
