Wimborne Minster Town Hall
Wimborne Minster Town Hall is a municipal building in Wimborne Minster, a town in Dorset, in England.
The building was constructed in about 1830, probably as a public hall. A terrace of three houses was built later in the decade, adjoining and immediately to the south, in a similar style.[1] The building was grade II listed in 1952.[2] It was later converted into the town hall, and houses the headquarters of Wimborne Minster Town Council.[3] On the first floor is the council chamber, capable of seating up to 48 people.[4]
The building is constructed of brick, which has been colourwashed, with a slate roof. It is two storeys high, but rises to the same height as the neighbouring three-storey terrace. The ground floor incorporates a large central archway, which provides access to the rear of the property. The windows are sashes. The council chamber has an original plaster ceiling including a moulded cornice and ornamental ceiling roses.[2]
