The orange-brick market hall stands opposite the St Mary's Church, just off the town square. A plaque above the entrance dates it as 1867 and gives names & coats of arms of prominent local families (see Image)

The oldest building in the town of Nantwich, built mainly in the 14th century in Cheshire red sandstone.

The stone tablet above the entrance shows Ye Olde Wyche Theatre 1919. The Cinema Treasures website records that Ye Olde Wyche Cinema Theatre was opened on October 11th 1920. It featured a brick turreted tower on its corner entrance, and Tudor style gables along the side walls. Inside the auditorium it had a 25 feet wide proscenium. There was a small stage for variety acts. In the late 1930s it was taken over by the Southan Morris chain of S.M. Super Cinemas Ltd. and was renamed Regal Cinema. On August 26th 1954 it was taken over by the Newcastle-based Essoldo Cinemas chain. The Regal Cinema closed on September 17th 1966.

Often called "the cathedral of south Cheshire" from its stately proportions. The red sandstone is very typical of the area; the octagonal tower is unusual here or indeed anywhere. Seen from the car park on The Gullet, an area that has seen considerable redevelopment opening up what was previously an area of narrow alleys and yards.
