The Town Hall, Market Place, Tamworth Built in 1701 by Thomas Guy, M.P. for the town. It is of mellow brick with arcades at ground level, large Jacobean windows and a steeply-pitched roof topped by a cupola. (The Shell Guide to England, 1970) It once housed the Butter Market and was used to store the town’s fire engine. The rear was added in the 19th century. The Tourist Information Centre is located next to it. In front is the bronze statue of Sir Robert Peel, dating from 1852. Former Tamworth MP and twice Prime Minister, Sir Robert delivered his famous ‘Tamworth Manifesto’ from the window of the Town Hall in 1834.
