Description
The Town Hall is a 19th-century building constructed of rubble stone with a slate roof. The ground floor features an opening to the square that serves as a bus shelter, with public conveniences located inside. Above the shelter, the two-storey gable end has three windows with fixed metal 20-pane glazing, the central window being pivot hung. The window openings are framed with dressed quoins and feature alternating black and yellow brick voussoirs. The building has plain bargeboards and a quarter hipped roof. Atop the roof is a square clock turret with an open stage and an ogee lead-clad roof that culminates in a finial.
The side elevation consists of two storeys with five window bays that contain similar windows. On the eastern side, an external stair from The Bank provides access to a 1994 upper floor wing, which has replaced the 18th-century railings from Tregunter House. This wing is connected by a glazed link to a 20th-century rendered rear service block, which also has a slated roof.
Inside, the hall is divided into five bays by hammer-beam trusses supported on stone corbels, with tension bars and a single tier of purlins. There is a stage in the southern end bay, and a square opening in the gable end has been blocked since the addition of the belltower.
