Corn Exchange

The Corn Exchange, now used as offices, was built in 1863. It is constructed from squared and coursed limestone, featuring rusticated pilaster strips and dressings, and has a gabled roof made of Welsh slate with stone end stacks. Designed in the Italian Classical style, the building is two storeys high and has a symmetrical three-window arrangement.

The entrance includes a semi-circular arched doorway with rusticated surrounds leading to panelled double-leaf doors. Above the doorway is a balcony supported by two large brackets adorned with carved flower swags. The entrance is flanked by tripartite plate-glass sash windows with rusticated segmental-arched architraves. On the first floor, there are cross-windows set in moulded stone architraves, each topped with bracketed cornices and a central segmental pediment.

A modillioned stone cornice runs beneath a low parapet, and consoles flank a central open-pedimented gable that features ball finials and a lunette. The right side wall has keyed raised architraves, and there is a long rear wing that is one storey high with a five-window range. Inside, there is a mid-19th century staircase, a dado in the room to the left, and a braced queen-post roof in the first-floor chamber.
