Lewes Crown Court, Crown Court in Lewes, England
The courthouse on Lewes High Street features Portland stone construction with six Doric columns supporting a recessed central section of three bays.
Built between 1808 and 1812, the building served as East Sussex County Council headquarters from 1889 to 1938 before becoming exclusively a court.
The building's first-floor windows display classical reliefs representing Wisdom, Justice, and Mercy, reflecting fundamental principles of the British legal system.
The court operates from 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM on weekdays, handling serious criminal cases with security screening required for all visitors.
The Grade II* listed building underwent a late 19th-century expansion, adding two bays that maintained the original architectural style.
