[2] These offices were designed in the Gothic Revival style, built in red brick with stone dressings and were completed in the late 19th century.

[6] The church initially operated from a small chapel in a yard off Gowthorpe but, in the 1850s, Lord Londesborough donated a site in York Street to create a more substantial building.

[8] The design involved a symmetrical main frontage with three bays facing onto the corner of Gowthorpe and Brooke Street; the central bay, which slightly projected forward, featured two round headed doorways separated by a Corinthian order column and flanked by Doric order pilasters; there was a two-light mullioned window on the first floor with an oculus in the gable above and there were finials and urns at roof level.

[7] After an extensive programme of refurbishment works, which involved the creation of an events venue as well as offices for the town council, the building was reopened in 1996.

[7] The building received a Good Design Award from the Selby Civic Society, for the quality of the refurbishment works, in 1998.
