Description
The Market House is a two-storey building that originally served as a public house, dating from the late 17th century with an earlier core. It is constructed of brick, pebble dashed, rendered, and colourwashed, topped with a pantile roof. The building features seven windows and has crosswings. The right-hand end displays brickwork from around 1600, while the front includes a mix of 19th-century casement windows. At the rear, the left-hand crosswing has an external stair with a raised and fielded panel balustrade. The gable has moulded brick kneelers, tumbling-in, and a rebuilt chimney with a datestone from 1732. The right-hand gable at the rear shows signs of a jetty above a wrought iron casement. The roof is hipped with a central axial stack. Inside, there are stopped and chamfered ceiling beams, and a barrel vault over the first-floor meeting room in the left-hand wing. The double roof is made of hardwood, featuring staggered butt purlins, collars, a ridge board, and straight wind braces.
