Description
County Hall is an 18th-century building located on Bayley Lane. It features a red brick exterior with stone dressings and stands three storeys tall, with eight windows that have key blocks. The entrance is marked by a rusticated stone doorcase, and the building has quoins at the sides and intermediate corners. A moulded stone cornice at the second floor supports an inset pediment that rises to the coping of the third storey, which includes a brick tympanum with a quatrefoil window. The returned side of the building is constructed of ashlar and is two storeys high, with the lower level featuring rusticated blank arcading. This side has five bays and five windows framed in moulded architraves with drip stones. Roman Doric columns separate the windows, and there is a damaged pediment above, with plain pilasters on the sides. County Hall is also marked on the Ordnance Survey map.
