The Town Hall, designed by James Wyatt, was completed in 1801 as a town house and public Assembly Room for Mrs Elizabeth Allanson of Studley Royal (William Aislabie's daughter). The Corporation kept their records and met in the lower rooms until 1897 when the 1st Marquess of Ripon (a successor to the Aislabies), gifted the building to the City to celebrate Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee and commemorate his year in office as Mayor. Its front bears the city's motto 'Except the Lord keep the City, the Wakeman waketh in vain'.
