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

[1] The foundation stone for the building was laid by Lord Waterpark of Doveridge Hall on 25 August 1853.

[2] It was designed by the local architect, Thomas Fradgley, in the neoclassical style, built in red brick with painted ashlar stone dressings at a cost of £4,000 and was officially opened on 29 November 1854.

[3] The design involved a symmetrical main frontage with five bays facing onto the High Street with the end bays projected forward as pavilions; the central section of three bays featured a porch with square Doric order columns supporting an entablature and a wrought iron balcony; the porch was flanked by lancet windows and, beyond that, doorways.

[7] A turret clock, which had been recovered from Bunting's Brewery when it was demolished in the 1960s, and which had been subsequently been languishing in the basement of the town hall, was refurbished and placed on display in the town hall in 2005;[10][11] it was moved and installed above the entrance to the Costa Coffee shop in the Carters Square Shopping Centre shortly before the centre opened in 2014.
