Llantwit Major Town Hall

The original administrative building for the town was ascribed to the late 13th-century Gilbert de Clare, Lord of Glamorgan. The cellar dates from this old courthouse. and used to collect rents and as a venue for the weekly market. A clock was presented to the town in 1887 to mark the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Victoria. It subsequently passed to the town council which has used the town hall as its meeting place since it was formed in 1978. A major refurbishment was carried out in 2017; the refurbishment works, which entirely related to the main hall, included removal of the stage, sanding and re-varnishing the flooring and installing traditional lighting.

The building is constructed of stone and has two stories, with chimney stacks and rows of mullioned windows on the long elevations. At the northeast end are two flights of stone stairs leading to an enclosed landing, above which is the large circular clock. At the apex of the northeast gable end is a bell turret with an ancient bell. The bell bears the inscription, Sancte Iltute, ora pro nobis ("Saint Illtyd, pray for us"). The building contains a hall and a council chamber. A blue plaque recording the historical importance of the building was placed on the town hall in February 2007.
