Lyme Regis Guildhall
Heritage Open Day: One of Lyme Regis's Hidden Gems! The Guildhall is one of Lyme’s most iconic buildings, standing on the site by the corner of Church Street and Bridge Street since the early 17th century. By the 19th century, it had fallen into disrepair and was remodelled in 1887 to mark the Golden Jubilee of Queen Victoria. The architect behind this historic building was George Vialls (1843-1912), who later designed the nearby Lyme Regis Philpot Museum. It was almost entirely rebuilt with new access, courtroom, gaol and open market space, but the Venetian style windows and panelling survived. The Guildhall is now occupied by the town council, with the closed-in space of the ground floor, originally the arched market. The court chamber on the first floor is now where the council hold their meetings.
