This white commemorative plaque records: Town Hall. Anticipating the visit of King George III, Tewkesbury's town hall was built in 1788 with a loan from the then M.P., Sir William Codrington, so contributing to the council's 1828 insolvency. Set back, with a cobbled corn exchange in front, it housed a court room and banqueting hall. Later a fire station and a police station with cells were incorporated. The corn exchange was roofed and a stone frontage was built, funded by the local wealthy miller, Samuel Healing. The clock is flanked by figures of an agricultural worker and Ceres, the goddess of agriculture. The building now houses Tewkesbury Town Council. Recorded plaque organisation: Tewkesbury Civic Society.
