Sessions House, New Walk, designed by Charles Watson of Wakefield, and built by J.P. Pritchett, 1805-10. Tympanum carved with coloured Royal Arms, apex crowned by figure of Justice. Grade II* Listed Building http://list.historicengland.org.uk/resultsingle.aspx?uid=1162300 Beverley was the centre of administration of justice in the East Riding. The Council Chamber and the old prison attached to the Guildhall in Register Square had been found to be inadequate, hence the construction of a new building in New Walk for meetings of Quarter Sessions. Consequential of the building of the new Magistrates' Court in Champney Road in 2001-2, a change of use of the former courthouse was approved; now occupied by Sessions Spa. The Police Station continues to occupy the adjoining wing next to Norfolk Street.
