County Hall is a municipal building in Beverley, East Riding of Yorkshire, England. It is a Grade II listed building.

History

Following the implementation of the Local Government Act 1888, which established county councils in every county, it became necessary to find a meeting place for the East Riding County Council. Initially meetings of the County Council were held in the Sessions House and in the Guildhall. A new purpose-built building, which was designed by R. G. Smith and F. S. Brodrick in the Flemish Renaissance style, was completed in 1891. Following the abolition of East Riding County Council in 1974, it became the offices of Humberside County Council. Since the abolition of Humberside County Council in 1996, it has served as the offices of East Riding of Yorkshire Council.
