This early 16th-century timber-framed building overlooks and dominates the town’s market place. Inside are exhibitions on timber-framed buildings, local history, farming and industry, as well as the story of the medieval woollen cloth trade. There is an attractive walled garden with dye plants, and 19th-century lock-up and mortuary. What’s new in 2004: Scale replica of the Guildhall as built c.1530
