The [[Old Town Hall, Brading|Old Town Hall]] stands near to the church. There is no record of the earliest Town Hall, but an entry in The Court Leet Book 1729 refers to the assessment of one shilling rate, and also a subscription towards building a new Town Hall, Market House and Prison, so it is likely it was completed around 1730.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.bradingcommunityarchive.com/brading-old-town-hall-and-jail-built-in-1730-photograph-prior-to-1876-when-it-was-restored/|title=Brading Old Town Hall and Jail.
