Description

The Former Town Hall, built between 1830 and 1831, is now a club and was previously used as a police station. It features brick construction with painted stucco facades and a Welsh slate roof, showcasing a symmetrical Classical design.

The building stands two storeys high with an attic and basement. The central section has three first-floor windows, flanked by projecting single-window ranges that are connected by a distyle fluted Ionic portico in antis. The right side of the first floor exhibits horizontal rustication, while a flight of ten steps leads to the central entrance, which consists of four-panel double doors with an overlight set in a tooled surround topped with a cornice on corbels. To the left, there is an additional entrance with a four-panel door in a taller, wider surround with plain reveals, and to the right, there is a blind window.

On the first floor, the outer windows are blind, while the central window is a 3/1 sash. The wings feature 6/6 sashes on the ground floor and 3/1 and 3/3 sashes on the first floor, all with sills and plain reveals. The basement has 10/10 sashes in the wings. The building is topped with a continuous frieze and a moulded cornice-parapet, along with a partly concealed roof dormer in a hipped roof, which has end and ridge stacks with cornices.

The foundation stone was laid on 24 June 1830, and the Town Hall was first used on 27 June 1831. The High Street, originally known as Warwick Row, was laid out between 1810 and 1813 and was part of the former High Road from Warwick to London.
