More about this scene
The Town Hall, standing in the middle of the High Street, was given by Lawrence Hyde, first Earl of Rochester, in 1700. Restored in 1889, it was presented to the town by Lady Meux in 1906. Until the restoration in 1889, under the open staircase there was a lock-up or blind house. At one time the building was used as a court house; it has subsequently been used as a branch of the County Library and as a museum. In recent years it was restored with the help of English Heritage, initially in an overall grey finish, but it has since been restored to its traditional timber-framed look.
