Abstract:		 South West Archaeology Ltd. (SWARCH) was commissioned by Sam Nolan of the David Wilson Partnership (The Agents) on behalf of Barnstaple Town Council (The Clients) to undertake building recording for the Guildhall, Butchers Row, Barnstaple, Devon, in order to assess the fabric affected by the conversion, restoration and development of the building. The Guildhall retains both the civic and mercantile functions for which it was built. The main chamber retains much of its original character, although much of the rest of the building has seen numerous phases of alteration and redecoration. Many of the historic features in the building were originally housed in other buildings in the town and have gradually been incorporated into the decorative scheme of the Guildhall. While there are areas of the building that should be preserved without alteration and historic fabric that should be retained, there is a lot of capacity for change within the building, especially in the modern extensions and rooms which have been subject to heavy alteration in the late 20th century. The open nature of the ground floor and its link with the Pannier Market should be retained. The division of space between the public and town officials needs to be readable even if it is opened up to mixed use. It is recommended that work in areas which may expose historic fabric should be monitored in order to further inform the record of the development of this building.
