Northampton's Guildhall is a striking example Victorian-Gothic at its most elaborate. It was designed by E.W.Godwin c. 1860 and succeeded an older town hall. According to an informative plaque "the statues and mural panels illustrate almost every important personage, craft and event in the town's history from Saxon times and the Danish invasion to the arrival from Denmark of Princess Alexandra in 1863 to marry the heir to the British Throne (later Edward VII)".
