Image: Warwick Shire Hall and County Court building

Description: Warwick Shire Hall and County Court building The building was rebuilt between 1753 and 1758 by Sanderson Miller of Radway and replaced the previous building which was saved from the Great Fire in 1694. The grey Warwick sandstone from which it was built had become badly weathered by the 1950s and so it was refaced with the slightly pink Hollington stone from north Staffordshire. The same material was used for the construcion of the new Coventry Cathedral. The building includes two octagonal courts that are still in use today although there are proposals to consolidate all the facilities in a new "Justice Centre" in Leamington Spa. The Doric pillared frontage beyond is that Warwick Old Gaol.
