The town hall, which was the headquarters of Stroud Urban District Council, is a Grade II* listed building.

[1] The original design involved a symmetrical main frontage with four bays facing onto the Market Place; it was arcaded on the ground floor to allow markets to be held; an assembly room with a large oriel window was established on the first floor.

[2] It was extended to a design by Francis Niblett to accommodate the county court in 1851[7] and, after becoming the offices of the local board of health, it was remodelled in the gothic style with a large gable containing mullion windows erected above the two central bays in 1856.

[12] Following the preparation of a feasibility study, a programme of improvement works was implemented at the town hall after the council moved out in 1988.

[13][14] Wall hangings created to commemorate the 400th anniversary of the granting of a charter to the town were completed in 1994 and subsequently hung in the building.
