Ashlar to main council chamber,coursed and squared rubble to the plinth. In the form of a temple with a portico on the E front and pediments to the N and S ends. The E front is a symmetrical composition with a central tetra-style Tuscan Doric portico and a central 6-panel door with moulded archi- trave and flat hood on carved consoles. Flanking this are round headed niches in the end bays which have slight projection. The W front is of 9-bays articulated by Doric pilasters and similar niches to the end bays. It is lit by C20 sash windows of immense-length. The N front which faces the Market Place has the same rhythm of pilasters and sashes, is 3 bays wide and its pediment is topped by a round arched bell cote. The whole is carried on a basement with round arched openings now sashed but once open. Contemporary iron railings with spear heads and vase finials to N and S ends. This rare Palladian Revival building performs a visual role in the Market Place and dominates the townscape.
