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

[1] The building was commissioned to replace an earlier town hall of uncertain age at the west end of the Market Place.

[2] The new building was designed by Thomas Pilkington in the Gothic Revival style, built in limestone with ashlar dressings at a cost of £320[3] and was completed in 1835.

[3] In 1878, a reading room and an educational institute were installed in the building,[7] which continued to serve as the meeting place for the civil parish of Market Deeping[8] until, with local government re-organisation, it was transferred to the ownership of South Kesteven District Council in 1974.

[12] Also in 2012, South Kesteven District Council prepared an asset management plan which identified the building as being surplus to requirements.
