About

Ipswich Town Hall

Standing at the centre of Ipswich on the historic Cornhill, the Town Hall is a Victorian municipal building designed by Bellamy and Hardy and opened in January 1868. Its Italianate facade, built in variously coloured stones, houses council chambers alongside a public art gallery and events space. The building sits on a site with roots stretching back to an Anglo-Saxon chapel dedicated to St Mildrith, later converted into civic use.
