The County Hall is probably Abingdon's most recognisable building. It was built between 1678-1682 by Christopher Kempster, a pupil of Sir Christopher Wren.

The result is an attractive three-storey building, very much in the style of Wren, with the ground floor standing on arched columns to provide space for market stalls. The top floor was designed to be a courtroom, but it now houses a very good museum of Abingdon's local history. Among the exhibits on display are Romano-British finds from the area, and objects excavated from a Saxon cemetery unearthed on Saxton Road.
