quoins and between these carriage entrances an arcade of 2 rows of 4 Tuscan
stone columns. The 1st floor contains the Council Chamber or Guildhall. Stuccoed.

to this centre projection and to both sides of the wings. Cornice and parapet
with pediment in the parapet over the centre projection. Slate roof. Tall
