The Shirehall ({{gbmapping|SO 512399}}) is a building on St Peter's Square, Hereford, England. It has been designated by English Heritage as a grade II* listed building.

History

The Shirehall was built in 1819 by Charles Heather[1] under the instruction of Sir Robert Smirke on the site of a former Gaol. It features six doric columns in the portico[2]. An Act of parliament in 1815 allowed for "erecting a Shire Hall, Courts of Justice and other Buildings, for Public Purposes; and for providing suitable Accommodations for His Majesty's Justices of Assize, in and for the County of Hereford"[3]. Wheelchair access was added around 2006[4].

Modern use

The Shirehall is home to Hereford Crown Court[5]. The building forms part of the "Civic Hub" and some council staff are based there[6]. Meetings of Herefordshire Council and of its committees take place in the Shirehall[7]. Rooms in the Shirehall may be hired by members of the public[8].
