Description
No. 57, High Street is an 18th-century building, originally used as town assembly rooms and subsequently altered. It is a three-storey structure with a regular facade of six windows, accentuated by a slightly projecting three-window central bay topped with an open pediment. A two-window return flanks the main section, and the roof is hipped and tiled. The building's construction utilizes gault brick, complemented by a moulded stone cornice and continuous stone bands at the head and sill levels of the first and second-floor windows. The central bay features a Venetian window set within an arched recess on the second floor. Second-floor windows are recessed and have exposed boxing around their sash windows, retaining original glazing bars. First-floor sash windows are embellished with stucco voussoirs. The ground floor has been altered. A large former assembly room, reportedly associated with Wesley, occupies the second floor. This room is distinguished by a domed central feature with a ceiling rose and a wooden orchestral gallery at the east end, all beneath a coved cornice.
