The Town Hall ‘Bank Hall’ was built in 1750 as a home for wealthy local businessman Thomas Patten Esq. It was designed by famous architect James Gibbs.

In 1873 the owner, Colonel Wilson Patten, later Lord Winmarleigh, sold the building to the Council and it became Warrington Town Hall. Today, the building is Grade I Listed and still retains many historical features.

The grounds, known as Bank Park, opened as Warrington’s first public park in 1873 and today includes bowling greens, a play area and a cafe. Standing proudly at the front of the town hall lawn are the iconic, Grade II Listed, Golden Gates. Cast in 1862, they were gifted to the Council in 1893.
