Northampton Guildhall
Northampton Guildhall is a building which stands on St Giles' Square in Northampton, England.
==Original building==
It was built to the design of Edward William Godwin, begun when he was only 28, between 1861 and 1864, in neo-gothic style. As well as housing Northampton Borough Council, it is also used for a variety of civic purposes, such as weddings or civil partnerships. The building also houses the records of births, marriages and deaths. Historically the building had a court, now used as a meeting room known as the court room and prison cells in the basement. The basement is quite extensive and quite eerie in places. There is also a hidden room in the attic accessible via a secret staircase and this was possibly once the home of a caretaker or other similar worker. There is an impressive Great Hall〔 with walls decorated in 1925 by Colin Gill.〔 These represent famous men connected with the town. There are also murals painted in 1949 by Henry Bird of "The Muses Contemplating Northampton".〔David Buckman (April 22, 2000) Obituary Henry Bird, Independent〕
