The Corn Exchange, Market Place, Hadleigh IP7 5DN
Our team sets us apart
Chapman Stickels’ head office is situated in the historic market town of Hadleigh in one of its most iconic buildings, the Corn Exchange. Originally built in 1813, it underwent a full restoration in 1895. The building (which is Grade II Listed) had a variety of uses during its many years, sadly being largely unoccupied in more recent times. In 2019 we decided to make the building our main offices, and head office, embarking on a 6-month renovation programme, carefully preserving its unique heritage whilst updating it to provide a modern and dynamic place to work.
