Looe Guildhall

[2] The new building was designed by John Ford Gould of Barnstaple in the Gothic Revival style, built by Samuel Honey of West Looe in rubble masonry with ashlar stone dressings and was officially opened on 13 September 1877.

[3] The great hall contained a series of stained glass windows made by Fouracre and Watson of Stonehouse, Plymouth.

[10][11] However, the building continued to operate as a community events venue and also became an approved location for weddings and civil partnership ceremonies.

[12] Work to restore the stained glass windows in the great hall was undertaken in spring 2018,[13] and the building was used as a filming location for the BBC series, Beyond Paradise, which was first broadcast in February 2023.

[14] Works of art in the guildhall include a painting by John Robertson Reid depicting the arrest of a smuggler in West Looe,[15] and a painting by David Wilkie Wynfield depicting Oliver Cromwell's First Appearance in Parliament.
