Shire Hall, Warwick
Shire Hall is a building complex located in the centre of Warwick, England. The original sections of the existing building were constructed between 1753 and 1758〔Girouard, Mark: ''The English Town: A History of Urban Life'', page 52. Yale University Press, 1995〕 having been designed by Sanderson Miller and built by local brothers William and David Hiorn.〔Pevsner, Nikolaus: ''Warwickshire'', page 41. Yale University Press, 1981〕 Originally used for local governance and justice, today the building is the headquarters for Warwickshire County Council, the county courts having moved to a purpose built complex in Leamington Spa in 2010.〔(Coventry Evening Telegraph article )〕
The Hall and Law Courts were Grade I listed on 10 January 1953.〔(The Hall's listing on britishlistedbuildings.co.uk )〕
==Pre-1753==
Although Warwick was founded much, much earlier (see History of Warwick) it was not incorporated as a borough until 1545〔Slater, Terry: ''A History of Warwickshire''. Philmore, 1981〕 and it was only in 1576 that justice became a borough matter rather than that of the earls.〔Wood, Anthony C: ''Shire Hall, Warwick'', page 3. Warwickshire Local History Society, 1983〕 Little is known about the hall first built on the site following this declaration except that £1,161 was levied for repairs and alterations (and the erection of a gaol next door) in May 1674 to be raised by taxes.〔 Work was undertaken by Mr William Hurlbert who had previously erected the town's Market Hall and refurbished Warwick Castle.〔''The Shire Hall Before 1675'', pages 53-54. Warwickshire County Record Office, 1946〕 Due to the fact that it was a sturdy brick-built structure the hall survived the Great Fire of Warwick on 5 September 1694 which destroyed all the surrounding town centre buildings.〔Cluley, Christine M: ''Northgate Street'', page 15. Riley, Dunn & Wilson Ltd, 2006〕
