  • The Grand Jury Room was added to the Courthouse in the 1730s, and it was used for quarterly magistrates sessions and meetings of the grand jury. No expense was spared when designing this extension to the courthouse. The room is decorated with a marble fireplace and detailed plaster heads on the ceiling. Although the walls were re-decorated over the years, the colours on the walls have been restored to those used when the room was first plastered.
