The Guildhall


The Guildhall entrance viewed from St Helen's Square. The present building, situated on the River Ouse, is a replica of a 15th century construction which suffered bomb damage during WWII. Visited by King Richard II in 1483, it later hosted the trial of Margaret Clitherow, found guilty in 1586 of harboring Catholic priests.
