'Ye Yeldhall' a medieval building used as the first guildhall in Dartmouth between 1370 and 1480. It was formerly the Chapel of St Saviours, built between 1331 and 1335, to the north-west of the church. It was converted into two tenements at the end of the 15th century, and appears on a map of 1581-93. A lease of 1761 refers to 'Old Guildhall and Latin School'. The school was established in 1669 and restored in 1729. A plan dated 1793 locates the Guildhall 33 feet west of No.9 Hanover Place (now Anzac Street). It was linked to No.9 by a flight of steps, and measured 35 feet east to west by 30 feet north to south. At the end of the 18th century the gaol block was joined onto it. The building was demolished in 1837. Map object based on this source.
