Alcester Town Hall

Alcester Town Hall, a grade I listed building in Warwickshire, England, boasts a rich history dating back to its construction in 1618. Originally built as a Market Hall funded by Sir Fulke Greville, the hall features a unique architectural blend with a stone lower floor and a timber upper floor completed in 1641. Over the centuries, it has served various purposes, including a covered market, courtroom, and even a hospital during World War I.
