The Old Town Hall, now home to the Mayor’s Parlour, dates back to 1746. Christchurch has had several town halls over the years, with the very first being a medieval timber structure in Millhams Street.
On the move
Even this Town Hall isn’t in its original spot. In 1859, it was relocated from the old Market Square, across from The George Inn, to enhance its utility, a spacious lecture hall was added to the rear.
A Victorian cultural hotspot
During the Victorian era, this hall became a hub for various popular entertainments of the time, including lectures, exhibitions, ventriloquist performances, plays, musicals, and even magical lantern shows.
