Date uncertain, probably 1686. Designed by Sir Christopher Wren. The original building consists of a two-storey rectangle, open on ground floor. The ground floor is of Portland stone, with six-bay front to west with chamfered rusticated angle piers and 3/4 engaged Doric columns, between openings, supporting entablature with curved frieze, which is carried round building. The upper part brick with Portland stone entablature and six windows with Portland stone architrave and cills. Slate roof.
The principal decoration is on the south front which has three arched openings (three central arches) between the angle piers on ground floor, and Corinthian pilasters on upper part supporting entablature and pediment. The two upper windows have Portland stone aprons with richly carved swags and drops, flanking a central Portland stone niche with elaborate cartouche to base and statue of Prince George of Denmark. The north front repeats this general design but with swag and drop ornament to base of niche which has a statue of Queen Anne. The building was extended two bays to the east in 1829, repeating the general design of the older part.
Nos 46 to 50 (consec) No 1 Castle Hill Market Cross House, The Town Hall form a group.
