For nearly 500 years the Town Hall has been one of the most important buildings in Witham. It has a chequered history, with parts of the structure dating to the late 14th century when it was The George Inn and then, in the 1800s, it became a bank and was re-fronted in brick. Not to be overshadowed by adjoining buildings, the front was raised and false windows inserted, that remain to this day. You might be interested to look at the brickwork - it is the same as No 10, Downing Street!

In 1993 the building was purchased by the Town Council and a loving and lengthy refurbishment began. The Heritage Centre, which was opened in May 1995, and houses the ever increasingly popular Tourist Information Centre, tells the story of Witham from the Iron Age to the present day.

To the rear of the building, a Period Garden has been recreated in the style and spirit of an early sixteenth century garden. The garden is an oasis of calm but on sunny lunchtimes is busy with office and shop workers enjoying their sandwiches!

Hire Information
Both the Function Room and Council Chamber at the Town Hall are available for hire and are used extensively for courses and seminars.

The Function Room, which has an immaculate and well-stocked kitchen, is ideal for small receptions but unfortunately not suited for large private parties, etc.

The Council Chamber is ideal for formal meetings and an excellent venue for business Meetings away from the office.

Both rooms have an induction loop for those with hearing difficulties and are fully serviced by the caretaking staff.

There are limited day time parking facilities at the Town Hall.
