Church of St John the Evangelist

Ornate Roman Catholic church in Gothic Revival style, completed in 1908. It has a soaring interior but the frontage is curiously stubby, as the tower never acquired its intended second stage and spire.

County Hall
This seven-bay, three-storey Georgian building was built in 1782 as a school. It suffered a fire in 1980, so the school moved away and since 1994 this has been the county admin offices. Just admire the exterior unless you're here to lodge a planning application or complain about the rubbish bin collections.
