Chipping Campden Town Hall

Description

Chipping Campden Town Hall is a municipal building in the High Street, Chipping Campden, Gloucestershire, England. The building, which is the meeting place of Chipping Campden Town Council, is a Grade II* listed building.
The site in the middle row of the High Street was originally occupied by a Norman Chapel dedicated to St Catherine of Alexandria which was built on the initiative of the local lord of the manor, Hugh de Gondeville, in around 1180. The current structure was commissioned by the burgesses of the town and was built in rubble masonry in around 1520. There was originally an external staircase on the north side of the building leading up to a courtroom on the first floor. There was also a lock-up for criminals in the basement and it is likely that Joan Perry, and her two sons, John and Richard Perry, who were hanged for the supposed murder of the rent collector, William Harrison, were held in this cell in 1660: Harrison re-appeared several year later in mysterious circumstances and his re-appearance became known as the Campden Wonder.
