New heritage lecterns outside town hall

November 26, 2025

SIX new heritage lecterns have been installed this month outside Brentwood Town Hall, thanks to UK Shared Prosperity Funding from UK Government.

New heritage lecterns outside town hall

The previous lecterns, which were damaged, worn and outdated, were installed outside the Town Hall in 2009 as part of a larger heritage scheme to commemorate the borough's residents who have significantly contributed to political, scientific, artistic, literary and sporting heritage.

The lectern scheme was designed to strengthen a sense of local and national identity, promoting Brentwood's people, buildings and sites which have historical significance.
