The Town Hall is a prominent feature of the High Street. A plaque on the south wall tells of how the hall was built by Robert Sherrard on the site of the old butcher's shambles in 1788. In the early days the building was used as a cloth market and more lately, the magistrate's court. The two Venetian windows on the North side were added somewhat later, and the carved coat of arms at the top of the front of the building are those of the Earl of Harborough.

Today, the building houses a clothes shop on the ground floor and, before it folded in November 1999, the Town Hall Club upstairs.
