This is the audio version of the blog post 'On Northampton Architecture: The Guildhall'. The post was written and read by Jane Macintyre, who is a volunteer for the Courtauld Connects Conway Library digitisation project. It was first published on 11 March 2019.
In this blog (one of a pair) Jane explores gems of Northampton architecture and interior design. This post focusses on the ornate Guildhall building, a stunning example of high Victorian Gothic revival by architect E.W. Godwin, completed in 1864. Jane examines how small details of the building reflect stories of Northampton's industry and leisure.
