The structure, which is the meeting place of Glastonbury Town Council, is a Grade II* listed building.

[2] The new building was designed by Joseph Beard in the neoclassical style, built in ashlar stone and was opened in time for a council meeting in December 1814.

[4] There was a row of sash windows on the first floor and the central section of three bays, which slightly projected forward, was pedimented with a clock in the tympanum.

[1] The ground floor was subsequently infilled with three round headed casement windows in the central section and with doors with fanlights in the outer bays.

[8] In August 1987 the New Age thinker, Sir George Trevelyan, hosted a ceremony in the town hall to "heal the earth".
