The architectural historian, Nikolaus Pevsner, noted that, despite its municipal purpose, it resembled a large town house.

[3] After the local rural sanitary authority was succeeded by Wymondham Urban District Council in 1894,[4] the new civic leaders decided to establish their offices and meeting place within the town hall.

The building continued to serve in that capacity for much of the 20th century,[5] but ceased to be the local seat of government when South Norfolk District Council was formed at Farthing Green House in Loddon in 1974.

[8] After links were developed with Votice in the 1990s, local dignitaries from the Czech Republic visited Wymondham and a plaque was placed on the front of the building to commemorate the relationship.

[10][11] The town hall was then deemed surplus to requirements and South Norfolk District Council put up it for auction in 2024, with a guide price of £250,000 to £300,000.
