Description
The Town Hall, built in 1912, is a two-storey building located on the north side of Little Market Place in Masham. Constructed from coursed squared stone with ashlar dressings and topped with a Welsh slate roof, it features seven bays and quoins. The central entrance consists of a half-glazed double door with a fanlight and keystone, flanked by rusticated pilasters. Above this entrance is a consoled balcony with balusters, which also has a half-glazed double door with a fanlight and keystone.
On the ground floor, the segmental windows are casements with keyed, rusticated, moulded architraves and a sill band. The first floor has a similar design, with casement windows that include keyed rusticated moulded architraves, friezes, and pediments, along with a sill band and shaped aprons below the windows. The building is adorned with a frieze, cornice, and a coped parapet. The hipped roof features a central cupola that is square in plan, with pilasters, keyed segmental arches, and a corbelled cornice dome. There is an end stack to the left. The Town Hall is included for its group value.
