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

[2] It was built on wooden stilts and was equipped with a pillory and a lock-up for petty criminals on the ground floor.

[4] A committee was appointed to pursue the scheme, and it raised the idea with Lord Rothschild, who owned the manorial rights to the market, and whose country home was Tring Park Mansion.

[5][8] Lord Rothschild donated the manorial rights to the market to Tring Urban District Council at the same time.

[16][17] The council also temporarily moved its meetings back to the vestry hall between 1916 and 1919 due to the wartime lighting regulations that were imposed under the Defence of the Realm Act 1914; it was easier to darken the windows at the vestry hall than the large windows of the market house.

[24][25] In 1974 Tring Urban District was abolished, with the town then coming under Dacorum Borough Council, based in Hemel Hempstead.

[26] A new Tring Town Council was created to cover the former urban district, and the town council returned to Market House, taking over the first floor as its offices and meeting place,[27] while the ground floor was occupied by the local information centre and various retail users including, since January 2009, a homewares shop.
