Swanage Town Hall

The Town Hall, built in 1882, incorporates the front of the Mercer's Hall from Cheapside in London, as designed by Edward Jarman, a contemporary of Sir Christopher Wren, in 1668. The interior, which is on view, includes the foyer, staircase and council chamber, which is still used for meetings. A small but interesting collection of paintings of old Swanage is also on display.
