[2] The new building was designed by Joseph Hansom in the neoclassical style, built in stone with a stucco finish at a cost of £1,600 and was completed in 1836.

[1] The architect had planned to erect a statue of the philosopher, John Wycliffe, who had served as rector of St Mary's Church, in the centre of the portico; however, this proposal was abandoned on the basis of its high cost.

[5] The building became an approved venue for weddings and civil partnership ceremonies in January 2012[2] and a further programme of refurbishment works, which included the upgrade of the lift and which was part funded by Tarmac, was completed in summer 2021.
