A medieval guildhall was constructed in the High Street around 1430 and replaced by a larger guildhall, designed by Theodosius Keene in the Italianate style, in 1777. In the late 1950s Maidenhead Borough Council decided to demolish the aging 18th guildhall and replace it with a modern facility.
The site selected for the new building had previously been occupied by a 16th century mansion known as St Ives Place. King Henry VIII granted St Ives Place to Anne of Cleves for life as part of his divorce settlement with her in 1541. In the 18th century it had become the home of Peniston Powney, the MP for Berkshire and by the early 1920s it was owned by another politician, Lord Desborough.
