The Yelde Hall (Chippenham)

United Kingdom / England / Chippenham / Market Place
 tourist information centre/center, Grade I Listed (UK), local museum

One of very few remaining medieval timber framed buildings in the town. It was originally divided up internally for use as a market hall. Both the hall and its meeting room upstairs were used by the burgess and bailiff for a variety of meetings and trials as well as for Council meetings. Amongst other purposes, it has served as a Savings Bank and the town's Fire Station. From 2003 it served as North Wiltshire Tourist Information Centre, and since 2012, as an extension of Chippenham Museum and Heritage Centre.
