Richmond Town Council

Richmond Town Council still holds its meetings in the Council Chamber, which was furnished in its present form by Waring and Gillow in 1956.

After local government reorganisation in 1974 the Richmond Corporation was succeeded by the Town Council.

Richmond retained the tiltles and ceremonial robes of both its first citizen, now the Town Mayor of Richmond, and the Town Clerk, as well as the impressive civic entourage of two serjeants-at-mace plus two halbediers. The Town Mayor still carries out many ceremonial and social duties each year.

Richmond Town Hall

The Town Hall is and has always been, the focal point of Richmond's civic and social life.

It was built by Richmond Corporation in 1756 for social occassions on the site of a much earlier giuldhall belonging to to the religous fraternity of St John the Baptist, which had assumed an important role in the life of medieval Richmond.
