Memorial rooms, probably associated with the United Reformed (formerly Congregational) Church. 1863 (datestone). Local grey limestone ashlar with a slate roof gabled at ends; coursed grey limestone chimney stack and shaft with cornice and three old terracotta pots. Early English style. PLAN: sited between No.2 St Peter Street (qv) and the United Reform Church (qv), forming an attractive C19 group. The Memorial Rooms project forward from No.2, to the left (south) and are end on to the street with an entrance on the south side. EXTERIOR: 3 storeys. Symmetrical 3-window front, gabled to the front with a coped gable with kneelers and a finial. Deep chamfered string courses at first and second-floor levels. Ground floor has a triple lancet with 3 large lights and a continuous hoodmould with label stops. Windows have horizontal glazing bars. Similar triple lancet to first floor with plaque at second floor string course with `Memorial Rooms' carved in Lombardic script. Similar first floor triple lancet, but here the centre light is taller and glazed with diamond leaded panes, possibly the original glazing pattern. The left (south) return is blind except for a 2-centred doorway with a hoodmould. The door has vertical sunk panels and intersecting blind tracery in the tympanum. The rear elevation has two first and two second floor lancets with chamfered architraves. INTERIOR: not inspected but may be of interest.
