Listed Building record MDO13637 - The Market House, Market Place, Sturminster Newton

Shop of seventeenth century origin, largely rebuilt in the eighteenth century, and altered in the nineteenth. Built of stucco, rubble and brick (Flemish bond) with a tiled roof with gable ends and brick stacks. Several nineteenth century shop fronts divided into elliptical headed lights by round columns with capitals. The east facade shows remnants of a seventeenth century stone building. This includes a blocked three light square headed stone mullioned window with straight chamfers. The rest of the wall is of eighteenth century brickwork and shows traces of round headed arches possibly of a former arcade. The building is on the site of the old market house and the seventeenth century fragments may be a part of this.
