Former frontispiece to Cawthorne House, which was built in the
1770s by Richard Gillow for John Fenton Cawthorne and stood on
the site of the present Post Office in Market Street. Re-sited
and reduced in height c1906. Sandstone ashlar.
Roman Doric portico with 2 columns in antis under a triglyph
frieze and cornice. Above this 3 courses of masonry with
chamfered quoins and a small moulded cornice, then a single
course surmounted by a pediment with dentils. (Originally
there were 2 storeys between the portico and the pediment.)
The openings of the portico are furnished with elegant
wrought-iron gates and screens, also from Cawthorne House,
which have elaborate scrolled cresting. The structure frames a
rectangular opening in a single-storey building. Further to
the left, however, is an ex-situ semicircular door hood of
c1700, formerly part of a building which was demolished in
1906 to make way for an extension of the Storey Institute,
Meeting House Lane (qv).
