Description
The Former Town Hall is an early 19th-century building constructed of rubble with a slate roof. The roof features bracketed soffits and eaves, which were likely renewed in the late 19th century. The building has rubble gable stacks and stone tabling. Its wide two-storey facade has three windows on the first floor, each with 16-pane hornless sashes and cambered heads supported by stone voussoirs. On the ground floor, there are doors on the left and right, each flanked by a window, with heads matching those above. The ground floor features 20th-century windows, a boarded door on the right, and a half-glazed door on the left.
To the right, there is a later high curtain rubble wall that encloses a central flight of stone steps leading to a first-floor doorway. This doorway has a boarded door with an elliptical head and stone voussoirs. There is also a ground floor window at the left end of the building.
At the rear, there are three first-floor windows with 16-pane horned sashes, matching the heads of the front windows. The wide low ground floor has an 8-pane window with a similar head.
