Old Town Hall

The Old Town Hall is a single-storey building with a three-bay forebuilding located on Church Place. The outer bays are advanced and feature triangular pediments, rusticated quoins, and a plinth. On the left side, there is a raised recessed round-arched panel with an inset round-arched window that has plain reveals and a stone sill. A small paned sash window is also present. The recessed panel on the right-hand bay has been altered. A first floor has been inserted, changing the recess to a rectangular shape with 19th-century fenestration. Above this, there is a plain cornice over a panelled entablature that leads to the arcade in the centre bay, which is supported by four cast iron fluted Greek Doric columns and flanked by pilasters. Steps lead up from the street to a recessed portico that features round-arched doorways on the left and right, both with blind fanlights and four-panel doors. Inside, a T-plan stone central staircase leads to a tall round-arched passage that connects to the principal rooms, complete with double doors and a modern fanlight, along with later iron handrails.

The right-hand bay and the staircase within the portico have 19th-century windows. The building has a two-window elevation facing New Street, with tall round-arched recesses that house round-arched small paned sash windows, plain reveals, and stone sills above small paned sash basement windows.

At the rear, there is a taller two-storey block with a three-window elevation to New Street and a broader five-window elevation along Castle Street. The building features a hipped slate roof with deep boarded eaves supported by paired brackets, rusticated quoins, and a plinth. The first floor has twelve-pane sash windows with plain reveals and stone sills.

On the ground floor, there is tall arcading that was once the corn market, featuring recessed round-arched openings and blind fanlights, now with modern glazing.
