The Sessions House, Grade II* listed courthouse in Beverley, England
The Sessions House features a symmetrical main frontage with five bays facing New Walk, including a two-storey portico supported by Ionic order columns.
Built in 1814 by architect James Pigott Pritchett, this building replaced the original sessions house at Hall Garth, where judicial proceedings were conducted previously.
The central pediment displays a Royal coat of arms topped with a figure representing justice, reflecting the architectural symbolism of British legal institutions.
After serving as a Crown Court until 1988, the Sessions House underwent renovation and now functions as a commercial space with spa facilities.
The building maintained dual functions throughout the late 19th century, hosting both judicial proceedings and East Riding County Council meetings before County Hall opened.
