Town Hall, 1 and 2 Market Place, Saffron Walden, Essex

This building was built in 1761. It was extensively remodelled and extended in 1879. The hall owes its existence to the generosity of George Stacey Gibson. He was a local businessman and Mayor of Saffron Walden from 1875-1877. At the end of his term as Mayor, he gave the town the necessary money to rebuild the hall. A portrait of Gibson is still on display in the Assembly Room.
