About Guildford House

Guildford House was built in 1660 for Guildford lawyer and later 3 times town mayor, John Childe. The house stayed with the family until 1726 when it was purchased by John Martyr, also a lawyer. It remained in his family until 1850 when it was bought by Frank Aptd as a shop. It was a stationers and a book shop from 1914 - 1928. In 1929 it was converted into a restaurant, Nutalls, which operated until 1956.  It became the town’s art gallery in 1959. Today it also houses the visitor information centre and courtyard craft shop with changing exhibitions in the gallery, throughout the year.
