Description
County Library Headquarters, comprising two end pavilions built in 1781. These buildings were designed as a balanced pair, intended to flank a central courtyard. They are constructed of ashlar and have Welsh slate roofs. Both pavilions are two storeys high and feature semi-circular pediments; the left pavilion has a panel and a window, both with archivolts. The left pavilion has two windows recessed within reveals and lintels, with ground-floor sash windows incorporating glazing bars and first-floor casements. A central, wide, segmentally arched panel houses a pair of folding doors on the ground floor, and a dummy window is centrally positioned above on the first floor. The right pavilion has a large arched panel, and a small loft door sits under a lintel on the first floor. Both pavilions have plinths. The buildings form a group with Nos 2 to 14 (even), The Old Deanery, The Glebe House, and the stone wall to the Deanery Garden.
