What is recorded here
Detached four-bay single-storey former market building, built c.1800, now in use as private dwellings. Original stone voussoirs of former arcade, now blocked. Rubble stone walls with cast-iron tie-plates. Additional openings inserted.
This former market building formed part of group with the purpose-built market structures to the site, which was the centre of commercial and social activity in the town. The market house and yard were moved here in the early eighteenth century by the Earl of Bective. Though this building is now altered and many original features and materials have been removed, the arcade voussoirs are reminders of the original form and function of the building.
This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.
