The Old Market Hall (in recent years branded as the "OMH") is an Elizabethan building situated in the town centre of Shrewsbury, the county town of Shropshire, England. It is a Grade I listed building. A market hall has stood on the site since the 1260s. A new market hall, replacing the original structure, was erected on the site in 1567. The current building, which is thought to have been designed by Walter Hancock in the Classical Renaissance style, was completed in 1597. The building was arcaded on the ground floor so that markets could be held, with an assembly room on the first floor. The arcading was formed by a series of Tuscan order columns supporting voussoirs. The first floor was fenestrated by mullioned and transomed windows. The central bay on both sides was projected forward: a Royal Coat of Arms of Queen Elizabeth I, with the date of 1596, and the English lion and the Welsh dragon as supporters, was carved into the stone above the central arch on the west side.
