Description

The Town Hall is a late Georgian building designed in a simplified classical style. It is constructed from rubble with buff-coloured sandstone dressings and features a hipped slate roof. The main part of the building is two storeys high and has five bays, arranged in a near-symmetrical layout, with a lower two-and-a-half storey single bay addition slightly set back to the right.

The principal section originally had an arcade with four round-headed arches on the ground floor, but this has been altered to include three windows and an entrance on the far left, all of which were boarded up during inspection. To the right, there is a slightly lower and narrower arched entrance, which likely provides access to the upper floor. This entrance features a six-panel square-headed door and a multi-pane fanlight above. The upper floor has five unhorned 20-pane sash windows with projecting stone sills and slate lintels, each with returned labels. A deep moulded sandstone cornice runs along the top.

At the center of the roof, there is a prominent clock tower consisting of a square lower section and an octagonal upper section, topped with a lead cupola and ball finial, along with a weathervane. The lower section has tile-hung sides and a large clock face on the front. An inscription below the clock indicates that the tower was added in 1868 in honor of John Jones of Tremynfa.

The right-hand bay, which is contemporary or nearly so, has a boarded ground floor window and a 16-pane horned sash window on the first floor, with a primary unhorned 9-pane sash window under the eaves above, all beneath a hipped slate roof.

The interior was not accessible during the survey.
