Shire Hall

Historical hall, now home of Woodbridge town council. The hall is located in the Market Square and was built by Thomas Seckford in 1575. Changes to the structure over the years include the addition of Flemish gabling and stone capping in the 17th Century and the bricking up of the archways in the early 19th Century. It is an attractive, compact building of red brick with a symmetrical design and a clock face on the front wall.
