Built in 1785 as a private residence, Pierremont Hall has been home to many and is now open to the community for public and private events.
The building is Grade II Listed, located in the heart of town. This newly renovated building is a beacon of history, showcasing the town’s historical character. The Hall was built in 1785 for Thomas Forsyth and designed by Samuel Pepys Cockerell. The Duchess of Kent and a young Princess Victoria holidayed at Pierremont from 1826 to 1836.

It knew various owners until its sale in 1896 to Leonard Posnett who used it as a school. Most of the original 30 acres of land were developed as housing and the building and remaining park were sold to the Urban District Council in 1927.

The building is still used as Town Council offices today but has recently been updated inside so that more Community events can take place there
The name Pierremont derives from the French for St. Peter's Mount.
