Sessions House, Beverley

The Sessions House was a municipal facility at New Walk in Beverley, East Riding of Yorkshire, England.

[2] In the early 19th century the justices decided to allow the lease on the building at Hall Garth to expire and, instead, chose to procure a new sessions house in New Walk.

[1][6] The design involved a symmetrical main frontage with five bays facing onto New Walk; the central section of three bays featured a two-storey tetrastyle portico with full height Ionic order columns; the doorway was flanked by windows on the ground floor and there were three arched windows on the first floor; there was a large pediment containing a Royal coat of arms topped with a figure of justice above.

[3][8][9] The sessions house continued to be used as a courthouse throughout the 20th century, latterly for the Crown Court, and repairs were carried out to the roof to extend the use of the building in 1984.

[10] In March 2019 it featured in the Channel 5 television series "The House of Extraordinary People".
