What is recorded here
Detached gable-fronted multiple-bay two-storey court house, built 1826, with four-bay side elevations, and having later single-storey multiple-bay lean-to blocks to side elevations. Pitched slate roof with cut-stone chimneystack and artificial slate roofs to extensions. Limestone ashlar to gable front with broken pediment and with string course between storeys. Limestone cladding to extensions. Tripled round-headed openings with nine-over-nine pane timber sash windows to upper storey, and with three round-headed blocked entrances to ground floor. Square-headed timber sash eight-over-eight pane windows to first floor of side elevations. New entrance to south-east elevation.
The main block of this building has simple elegant proportions and is of apparent architectural design. The well-executed craftsmanship of the ashlar masonry enhances its architectural form. The triple arcade of the former entrance is pleasingly echoed in the windows above. This building forms an interesting group with the former Bridewell, now part of the Premier Hall to the south.
This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.
