Sessions house

A sessions house in the United Kingdom was historically a courthouse that served as a dedicated court of quarter sessions,[1] where criminal trials were held four times a year on quarter days.

Several buildings formerly used as sessions houses are still named "Sessions House"; some are still used for the administration of justice (e.g., London Sessions House, now the Central Criminal Court at the Old Bailey), while others have different uses.

Some are listed buildings of architectural importance.
