HistoryThe site of the courthouse at Pudding Lane was given by the second Earl of Landuff in 1819 and the building was erected in 1828 under the directions of the Grand Jury of the County. The flanking wings were extended forward in the 1960’s.

RefurbishmentThe brief was for a substantial upgrading of the main courtroom and the construction of an additional courtroom to cater for civil and family hearings. The project also included the provision of judges chambers, offices for the County Registrar and the District Court, legal practitioner’s room, consultation rooms, victim support room and holding cells for prisoners. The refurbishment means that the sittings of the Circuit and District courts can run simultaneously.
