Abstract:		 In September and October 2012, Archaeology South-East (a division of the Centre for Applied Archaeology, UCL) carried out targeted historic building recording prior to, and an archaeological watching-brief during, alterations to The Old Town Hall, Market Square, Horsham, West Sussex, RH12 1EU. The work was commissioned by Chameleon Refurbishments Ltd to satisfy a condition placed on planning consent in relation to the building's proposed conversion to restaurant use. The site has a long history, with a building being present on the site by at least the 17th century. During this time there have been several documented phases of reworking and rebuilding, with the most recent substantial phase of rebuilding being in 1888-9. Given its history, there is the possibility that evidence for earlier phases of the building, particularly within the lower levels, might survive beneath later finishes. The extent to which this might be the case is not altogether clear, although it is probably fairly fragmentary and confined mainly to the basement. The recent works, which included partial surface stripping of the interior of the north wall, and the removal of the infill of two blind arches, revealed evidence to suggest that within the north elevation, the lowest c. 350mm of stonework surviving there might be retained from a previous building phase. Elsewhere in the building, the building works revealed a small amount of information about the building's construction, but nothing of great consequence.
