In 1717 the city administration decided on a new Guildhall, Thomas White was not only an architect but a stone mason. He carved a statue of Queen Anne to stand in front of the building. Over the entrance is a huge carving incorporating the Hanoverian royal arms. On the rooftop are figures of Labour, Peace, Justice, Plenty, and Chastisement.
