Pepperpot, Godalming

The Pepper Pot, also known as the Old Town Hall, is a distinctive octangular building in the centre of the town of Godalming in Surrey, United Kingdom. Due to its unique design, it has become the defacto 'logo' of the town today. The current building dates back to 1814 and replaced the medieval "Old Market House" that had occupied the site since the early middle ages. It was in this Market House (and its predecessors) that the local Hundred Court met and discussed matters of local importance for more than a thousand years. In recognition of this, the elected members of the modern Town Council (which replaced the Hundred Court) march down the High Street to the Pepper Pot where they hold a symbolic first meeting of the year.
