County Hall, County hall and Grade II* listed building in Romanby, England

The administrative building features a square courtyard plan with 15 bays on the main elevation and 23 bay returns, constructed in ashlar and red brick.

Between 1904 and 1914, architect W. H. Brierley designed and constructed this Neo-Wren style building for the North Riding of Yorkshire County Council.

The council chamber interior displays Baroque elements with a domed ceiling supported by Corinthian columns and decorative coffered window arches.

Located on Boroughbridge Road, the building continues to function as the headquarters for the North Yorkshire County Council with regular administrative activities.

The main staircase leads to an upper landing with detailed plasterwork and includes a statue of Samson alongside black and white marble corridor floors.
