Town Hall. 1895 by Tree & Price (of London). Stone and flint.
Slate roof with cupola on ridge. Elizabethan and Gothic
Revival styles. 2 storeys. Heavily chequered to imitate the
Guildhall immediately south. Elevation divided horizontally:
plinth course, a row of 3-light double-transomed windows, a
chequerwork band, and a further row of 3-light
double-transomed windows. The lower 2 zones interrupted to
south by an arched and ogeed porch entrance. The upper 2 zones
have a central canted oriel. Tall gable to north in which is a
9-light panel-tracery perpendicular window under an ogeed
round arch. Between each bay, of which there are nominally 9,
rises stepped buttresses to the chequerworked parapet. 2 of
these buttresses cut through the large Perpendicular window.
INTERIOR. Grand but unadventurous. Entrance passage leads to
staircase hall lined with small-framed panelling. Closed
string staircase with splat balusters and square newels.
Various rooms to first floor panelled for official use,
including courtroom with complete fittings of 1895.
