Old Town Hall, King Street, Bakewell, Derbyshire

This building dates from 1602. It was altered in 1709 and restored in the 20th century. It originally had the Town Hall on the upper floor with St John's Hospital (almshouse) beneath. After 1709 the almsmen were housed in St John's Hospital almshouses to the rear. The building then became the Buttermarket and also Lady Manners Grammar School. It has since been used as a shop.
