1596. Hammerdressed rubble. Modern pitched roof. 2 storeys, and 2 attic storeys.
Central gable with 1 mullioned attic window on each floor, both with hood moulds.
3 mullioned and transom windows on 1st floor, those at either side with hood
moulds. Central window is an 8-light oriel crowned by a cornice and taken on
a central pier, which is progressively corbelled out by means of elaborate scrolled
brackets. Against this pier abut 2 Tuscan columns, on high plinths, each taking
a full entablature and an elaborate scroll. Ground floor has 2 4-centred arches
with moulded voussoirs, flanking 2 round arches with lions masks on keystones.
2 massive C19 buttresses to ground and lst floors.
2 flanking mid C19 staircase wings: ashlar: battlemented parapets: stringcourses
with lions' heads masks: paired lancets with polychrome relieving arches: quatrefoil
oculi above with polychrome voussoirs.
Mid C19 extension to north: ashlar: 2 storeys: battlemented parapet: 3 ranges
of mullioned windows with hoodmoulds.
Before these C19 alterations were made the Town Hall was presumable free-standing;
in which case it belongs to the same type as the town halls of Minchinhampton,
Tetbury and Dursley; but owing to the sloping site, a variant on this theme.
All the listed buildings in The Marrket form a group, together with Nos 53 to55 to 55]
(consec) and The Bedford Arms, High Street.
