Grange Court

Grange Court is a building originally constructed as a town hall around 1633 by John Abel. It has since served as a dwelling and is currently used as Council Offices. In 1853, it was relocated to a new site to avoid being a traffic hazard. The building features a timber-frame and plaster construction with a stone tile roof that includes a gable, bellcote, and a weathervane dated 1687.

The exterior consists of two storeys, an attic, and a cellar, with a four-window range. It has shallow canted oriels with moulded mullions and transoms set in decorated cases, supported by enriched consoles. The gable displays a moulded six-light mullion and transom window within ornamental panels, topped by a wood modillion gable pediment. The ground floor was originally open under a jetty, featuring boarded soffits and enriched bressumer boards on timber columns with figurehead brackets and carved arch-braces. The entrance, located to the centre left, has a 19th-century eight-panel door with a plain overlight in an oak doorcase with chamfered pilasters. There are also three tall 19th-century moulded mullion and transom windows with cambered heads and moulded sills. An inscription in Latin and English is present on the frieze above the arch-braces.

The returned sides of the building showcase applied chevron and quarter-bracing, enriched consoles, and panel-heads, along with single oriels and casements at the gables. There are two windows between the pillars on the ground floor. The rear of the building features a 19th-century stucco and painted brick wing, which includes 6/6 and altered sashes, casements, and oriels, along with an additional brick wing.

Inside, the building has an exposed moulded ceiling-frame and 19th-century stone fireplaces.
