[1] There were three round headed sash windows at the rear of the first floor portico and iron railings bearing the town's coat of arms at the front.

[2] The chiming clock, by Moore & Sons of Clerkenwell,[6] was given by Miss Player, the lady of the manor;[7] it sounded the Westminster Quarters on a set of hemispherical bells in the cupola.

[12] A programme of works, to a design by the council surveyor, Nigel Hayton, to convert the first floor of the building into a theatre was completed in March 1991.

[2] After the theatre closed in February 2005,[2] the facility was used as a music venue: performers at the town hall included the rock band, The Stranglers, in July 2009.

[15][16][17] In November 2020 Ryde Town Council decided to take a three-year lease on the building with a view to raising the finance to acquire and restore it.
