From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A county hall or shire hall is a common name given to a building that houses the seat of local government for a county.

The location of the county hall has usually denoted the county town.

In the case of Surrey, England, when county boundaries changed the county hall remained in Kingston upon Thames.[1] County halls usually contain a council chamber, committee rooms and offices.[2]
