County Hall, Town hall in Derby, England
County Hall features a symmetrical main frontage with five bays, three round-headed windows, and two designated doorways for judges along St Mary's Gate.
Completed in 1660 by architect George Eaton of Etwall, County Hall served as headquarters for Derbyshire County Council from 1889 until 1955.
The historic courtroom inside County Hall appears in George Eliot's 1859 novel Adam Bede as the location for Betty Sorrel's trial.
The Grade I listed building maintains its original architecture through specific repair requirements, with alterations requiring formal application processes.
In 1811, seven additional bays were constructed on the east side as judges' lodgings, designed by John Welch to expand the building complex.
