The guildhall, which is the meeting place of Conwy Town Council, is a Grade II listed building.

[3] The new building was designed in the Gothic Revival style, built in sandstone with Bath stone dressings and was completed in 1863.

[5] In the late 19th century, burgh leaders erected a public hall on the northeast side of Castle Street but this was largely used as an events venue, leaving the guildhall to continue as the main municipal building in the town.

[1] David Lloyd George, Prime Minister from 1916 to 1922, was the Member of Parliament for the Carnarvon Boroughs constituency, which included Conwy, from 1890 until 1945.

[1] Works of art in the guildhall include a portrait by John Dawson Watson of the former mayor, William Hughes,[11] a painting by Richard Wilson of Conwy Castle,[12] and a painting by Franz Emile Herman Krause depicting the rail accident which took place at Penmaenmawr in January 1899.
