Description
The Mayors Parlour is an amazing building located on the town square in Christchurch, Dorset, England. It highlights the square causing a visitor to contemplate what the building is for and how is it used.
The Mayor's Parlour. Was originally built as the market hall in 1745 at the junction of Castle Street, Church Street and the High Street; it was moved to its present position in 1849. Later it was enclosed and extended, and used as the town hall until the civic offices were built, in Bridge Street, in the mid-1970s. It was partly demolished and restored to its former condition circa 1982 when Saxon Square was built. The Celtic cross in the square marks the back of the building before its demolition.

Oh, lovely! Makes me think of The English Patient when Maddox keeps trying to get Count Almasy to visit him. "Come to Dorset," he said. This Maddox has always wanted to visit Dorset. :)
