Description

Holy Rood Chambers is a building dating circa 1870, constructed of red brick and terra cotta with orange stone dressings, designed in the Gothic style after the manner of Waterhouse. It is three storeys high with attics. The building has a tiled roof with a large central gable flanked by dormers with wooden bargeboards. There are crow-stepped gables and tall, clustered chimney stacks. It features four windows, including two four-light bays on the sides. Traceried panels divide the floors. The ground floor retains its original stone shop-front, with three segmental moulded arches separated by granite columns surmounted by stone lions supporting shields.
