Evesham Town Hall

[3] The new building was designed in the neoclassical style, was built from rubble masonry recovered the ruins of the abbey and was completed in 1586.

[6] A wind indicator, a barometer and a thermometer were presented the Reverend George Head, the priest in charge of St Mary's Church at Aston Somerville, and installed on the north face of the building in November 1887.

[7] The town hall continued to serve as the headquarters of the borough for much of the 20th century but ceased to be the local seat of government after the enlarged Wychavon District Council was formed in 1974.

[8] In April 1995, the building was acquired by Evesham Town Council which arranged the restoration of the clock tower in 1998, the refurbishment of the weather instruments in 2000, and tenancies for the ground floor so that the area could be used as a café bar.

[9] Works of art in the town hall include a series of paintings by the artist, George Willis-Pryce, depicting the Workman Bridge across the River Avon,[10] the ferry to the village of Little Hampton,[11] and the old gateway to the Market Square.
