Description
The Town Hall, built around 1864, originally served as a non-denominational chapel and town hall combined. It features dressed stone and a Welsh blue-slate roof. The building is two stories high with a symmetrical three-bay facade, where the central bay projects forward. A plinth runs along the base, and there is a sill band at the first floor level. The doorway is flanked by pilasters and has panelled spandrels leading to a fan-light arch, topped with a cornice on elongated consoles. The windows on either side of the doorway have cornices supported by console brackets.
On the first floor, the central window is round-arched, while the flanking windows have stilted archivolts with keystones. A dentilled cornice runs along the top, with a break in the middle bay, which is flanked by pairs of consoles. Above this break is a volute-supported clock face with a curved cornice, topped by a bellcote. The roof is hipped, and the left and right return walls each have five bays. The first bay features a two-light window with a single light above it. The remaining bays are set back from the chapel and contain four bays of tall round-headed windows with archivolts on consoles and intersecting glazing bars at the heads, with the fifth bay being blind. A dentilled cornice continues along the top, and there is a lateral stack and a ventilator on the ridge.
