Description
The New Market Tavern is an early 18th-century building located on the southwest side of Market Place. It stands three storeys tall and features painted stucco on the ground floor, which has a horizontal rusticated treatment on the projecting plinth and a raised moulded cornice string at the first-floor level. The ground floor displays a rhythm of three semi-circular arched doorways and three three-centred arched windows, all adorned with architraves on projecting panelled springers at the heads. The central door is a six-panel, flush type, while the other doors are later additions. The windows consist of six large panes each. The upper part of the building is constructed of brick and has a slightly projecting brick parapet with stone coping, featuring three windows with architrave frames. The interior may also be of interest. The New Market Tavern is part of a group of listed buildings that includes those on the southwest side, the southeast side, the Market Hall, the Market Cross, and the Fountain, as well as Nos 1 to 18 (consecutive) Northgate Street.
