Court House

The Court House, now partly used as offices, was built in 1807 by Charles Watson. It is constructed of ashlar stone, with a horizontally rusticated main front and a Welsh slate roof. The building is two storeys high and has nine bays, with a lower two-storey single bay on the left side. It features a plinth, and the two outer bays on either side are slightly advanced. The three central bays are highlighted by a full-height Ionic portico supported by deep plinths, with an entablature that has a plain frieze and a pediment above displaying a Royal achievement.

The central doorcase includes a double panelled door beneath a plain overlight, topped with a consoled cornice. On either side of the doorcase, there are four tall sash windows with glazing bars, along with a similar window in the left-hand bay. Above, there are nine additional sash windows with projecting sills, and a fixed 9-pane window in a partially blocked opening in the left-hand bay. The building has a moulded stone cornice with a blocking course, except for the left-hand bay, which has plain eaves. The roofs are hipped throughout.

The rear elevation features full-height canted bays on either side and a wide five-bay shallow bow in the center. Steps lead up to the central doorcase, which has panelled jambs, a consoled cornice, a 20th-century double-panelled door, and a plain overlight. Tall sash windows with glazing bars are found on either side and in the canted bays. Above, there are eleven similar sash windows with projecting sills. The cornice and blocking course match those on the front. On either side of the central bow, there are original partly-fluted hopper-heads for the downpipes. The interior was completely remodelled around 1960.
