Hadleigh has a well documented gildhall which cannot easily be seen behind the Market Hall shown above.
The 2015 edition of the Pevsner guide to Suffolk West has about three-quarters of a page about it from which some extracts follow: "The complex of buildings known as the Guildhall lies between the town Hall of 1851 and the churchyard, and includes the Market Hall built between 1438 and 1451, which faces the S side of the church and is the most visible componenet of the group. This is what one sees from the churchyard - a three-storey timber-framed building with two jetties, with two-storey ranges to E and W." and then later: "The Guildhall proper lies at right angles to the Market Hall and was originally free-standing; the two were linked in the C16. The Guildhall was erected c1451 and has a brick cellar, brick ground floor, and timber-framed first floor jettied along both sides; the E side was underbuilt in the C18." And later still: "Part of the S end of the Guildhall was demolished when the Town Hall was built in 1851."
The grade I listing detail for the Guildhall from Historic England is here.
One of the most helpful articles that explains the relationship of the guildhall lying behind the Market Hall can be found in the Proceedings of the Suffolk Institute of Archeaology and History (PSIAH) of Volume XL, Part 4 (2004), "Excursions 2003" which can be found via here.
Also see the Sources page where there is a downloadable copy of the SHBG (Suffolk Historic Buildings Group) Eavesdropper newsletter with an article on Hadleigh Guildhall.
The gildhall wing at right angles behind the Market Hall can be glimpsed on the left in the photograph below:
