The guildhall in Durham Market Place was built in the 17th century, though there are 18th century alterations. The town hall dates to 1851. Inside is a Jacobean chimney piece and overmantel transferred from former Red Lion Inn, now part of Hatfield College. North Bailey: figures in contemporary dress of gentleman, king and soldier. Town hall at west, above covered market has panelled walls with commemorative painted panels. Entrance hall has one medieval head-carved stone corbel, perhaps a survival of the 1356 Guildhall on the site.
The Town Hall contains a number of war memorials dedicated to citizens who fell in the World Wars (4-6).
This is a Grade II* Listed Building protected by law.
