[2] The investors included Thomas Coke, 2nd Earl of Leicester, whose seat was a Holkham Hall, and who took a personal interest in the project.

[4] The current building was designed by John Brown of Norwich in the Italianate style, built in red brick with ashlar stone dressings at a cost of £4,000 and was completed in 1855.

The side elevations, of three bays each, featured two-bay projections, with rounded corners, which were fenestrated by pairs of round-headed windows.

[5] The use of the building as a corn exchange declined significantly in the wake of the Great Depression of British Agriculture in the late 19th century.

After an extensive programme of refurbishment works, carried out to a design by Nicholas Hills, it was then reopened as the "Hollywood Cinema" in July 2000.
