Sessions House, Grade II* listed building in Usk, Wales.
The Sessions House features a neo-classical design with a facade of mauvish local sandstone and Bath stone dressings across seven bays with Tuscan pilasters.
Built between 1875 and 1877 by architect Thomas Henry Wyatt, the Sessions House functioned as a courthouse until 1995 when Court Two held its final proceedings.
The Mather-Jackson Library within Sessions House contains 3000 volumes of law reports, statutes, and commentaries dating from 1698 to 1971.
The Sessions House currently operates as a multifunctional venue for weddings, community events, and houses the Usk Town Council offices on Maryport Street.
The building maintains one of the few remaining authentic Victorian courtrooms in the United Kingdom, complete with original bench labels and period fittings.
