Grade II Listed Town Hall. Dated 1896 and inscribed CJ and FW Skipper, architects. In the first world war it was used as a billet for the British Army's first sniper unit, then known as "sharpshooters", The Lovat Scouts. After the war it was a meeting place of Hunstanton Urban District Council but also used as a theatre. In 1974 West Norfolk Council was formed and it ceased to home the Urban District Council but continued to be used as the offices and meeting place of Hunstanton Town Council and an information centre. A major programme of refurbishment works was completed in September 2021 and a new art gallery opened in the area formerly occupied by the tourist information centre in February 2022.
