[1] At its official opening in May 1935, Viscount Wakefield unveiled a plaque to commemorate John Wesley's historic visit to Kingston House.

[1] On the first floor there was an iron balcony bearing the town's coat of arms and a prominent rounded headed French door flanked by full-height pilasters supporting a pediment.

[1] Internally, the principal rooms were an entrance hall, which was decorated in an Art Deco style, and a semi-circular council chamber which jutted out to the rear of the building and featured fine wooden panelling.

[10][11] Renamed Wesley House to commemorate the connection with the Methodist theologian, the building was then occupied by the local Citizens Advice Bureau and by a security alarms business before being sold to a developer in December 1999.

[12] The developer refurbished the council chamber, converted the remainder of the building for commercial use and added a glass and steel west wing onto the complex.
