Description
The Corn Hall, built in 1854 and designed by architect George Atkins of Diss, is a notable example of restrained Classical revival style. It features a three-bay front portico supported by two pairs of giant Ionic columns and topped with a pediment. The entrance includes a doorcase with consoles, and there is a panelled parapet above. Flanking pilasters with decorative caps enhance the façade. The building is constructed of stone and stucco that is lined to resemble ashlar, with a rendered return on the west side that extends six bays to the end pavilion.
