Photograph at the Blue plaque № 74982 blue plaque

Grade II* Listed building originally constructed as a private house in 1769 to replace an earlier mediaeval structure (built circa 1150). Subsequently served as a women's prison, town council offices, tourist information and town museum before various commercial uses including an Indian restaurant, antiques centre and children's nursery. The original 17th Century mechanically operated clock was replaced with an electrically operated one during the mid-20th century. The original clock mechanism and hand are in Daventry Museum. Jesson's Pump (Well) once stood outside the front of the Hall.
