The Market House Tavern

The Market House Tavern is an attached house that has been converted into a public house, dating from around 1790 and designed in the style of Thomas Paty. It is constructed of brick with limestone dressings, featuring brick lateral stacks and a hipped pantile mansard roof. The building has a double-depth plan and is in the late Georgian style, standing three storeys tall with an attic and basement, and a three-window range.

Situated on a corner site, it has a splayed corner entrance with one window, giant pilaster strips leading to the cornice and parapet, and a sill band at the first floor. The 19th-century timber public house front includes pilasters flanking segmental-arched windows, consoles supporting the fascia and cornice, and double half-glazed doors. The windows feature five stepped voussoirs above 6/6-pane sashes. The right-hand return has two ground-floor windows with a blocked semicircular-arched doorway in between, and above, there are blocked left-hand windows. The interior has been largely remodelled in the late 20th century. The Market House Tavern forms a pair with No. 17 across the street.
