This was originally built as the Market House in the 16th century. In the 17th century a school for poor boys was founded upstairs. In 1760 the building was altered and became the Town Hall. The law court sat here and two cells were installed which still exist in the coffee house (see Image]). The building was altered yet again in 1843/4. This information is taken from A Midhurst Society Publication of 2006 entitled "The Market Square".
