| 释义 |
The Sessions House is a Grade I listed[1] building on George Row in the centre of Northampton, England. Built 1676-8, following the Great Fire of Northampton, it is often considered one of the finest provincial courthouses in England. Of particular note is the plasterwork on the ceilings, 1684-8, by Edward Goudge. The Sessions House is constructed of stone with baroque details. The design is attributed to Henry Bell of Kings Lynn and to Sir Roger Norwich, responsible for the plan. The court finally moved in 1993, and the building stood empty until 2010 when a new visitor centre was opened. The building is adjacent to County Hall, the home of Northamptonshire County Council.
