The Corn Exchange is an events and concert venue located in the Market Place in Newbury, Berkshire, England. The building, which was commissioned as a corn exchange, is a Grade II listed building. The first location where merchants could trade in agricultural products in Newbury was a guildhall in the Market Place which was completed in 1611. After becoming very dilapidated and an obstruction to traffic, it was demolished in 1828. The current building was designed by James Dodd in the neoclassical style, built in ashlar stone at a cost of £6,000 and was officially opened on 4 June 1862. The design involved a symmetrical main frontage of three bays facing onto the Market Place. The central bay featured a round headed doorway with an archivolt and a keystone while the outer bays were fenestrated by round headed windows with archivolts and keystones. All three bays were decorated by paterae above the openings and were flanked by pairs of Corinthian order columns supporting an entablature and a pediment with a quatrefoil in the tympanum. Internally, the principal room was a full-height assembly hall. More information...
