Description

The Market is an enclosed market square built between 1826 and 1827. Originally, it featured lean-to shelters within a two-storey central building, but the southern half received iron roofs in 1886. The structure is made of grey rubble stone with a tooled stone plinth band and ridged coping, along with ashlar angle piers. There are central ashlar arches on each side, which are rusticated with impost bands and coping. The walls follow the slope of the land on the east and west sides, except at the gateways, which show some unusual adjustments to the slope. The main facades are on the north and south, consisting of eleven bays, with the central archway slightly enhanced by a stepped blocking course.

The windows were likely all lunettes, as seen on the north wall where they are all blocked. The south wall windows have lowered sills that disrupt the sill band. The north entry retains its original iron entrance gates, while the south entry has been altered for public conveniences. The east and west sides also have nine bays, similar in design, but the southern windows have later lowered sills from the 19th century, and the northern ones are blocked lunettes. The current entry is from the east. The north arch opens into an open courtyard with slate-roofed lean-tos, which have been modified for garages, although the iron columns remain.

The central building has been significantly altered by later additions but appears to have a cross-gabled roof. The upper floors are rendered, while the lower part is painted stone, featuring three blocked arches on the south side. The 1886 addition filled in the southern half with five roofs supported by columns, with outer walls and red brick rear walls. The gables above the original 1826 south wall are intact, with two to the west retaining hipped raised clerestories, while the three to the east have lost their clerestories since 1945. The roofs from 1886 are supported by iron posts and thin steel trusses.
