Cadw records that this building was erected in 1860-1863 as the National Probate Registry for Wales, designed by John Prichard, the pre-eminent Victorian architect of South Wales. This is possibly his finest secular design. A commercial type building of such elaborate design outside a city centre is unusual for this date and reflects the importance of its function. Probate had been an ecclesiastical function until 1857. The building was converted for modern office use c1990. Though much changed internally, it is little changed externally from its original appearance.
