Description
The Corn Exchange, located at No 10 in the Market Place, was built around 1861-1862 by J.S. Dodd in the Italianate style. It is constructed from Bath stone ashlar and features a slate roof. The building has a monumental, single-storey front with three bays, highlighted by paired Corinthian pilasters and rusticated Doric pilasters on the corners. These support an entablature and pediments, which include a coarse blocking course and acroterion. A quatrefoil lunette is present in the tympanum of the pediment. The façade features a round-arched opening adorned with pilasters, archivolts, and keys, along with windows that have arched lights. Paterae are positioned above the ground floor openings, and there is a central entrance with a panelled door.
