The County Hall is a few steps away from St Nicholas church, a lovely early medieval building with a square, battlemented tower. Much early Norman architecture remains, including the west door. The interior features a 15th century font, and a Jacobean pulpit, as well as a rather grand tomb of John and Jane Blacknall (d. 1625).

Just outside St Nicholas church, the road passes through the old Abbey Gateway, built around 1460. From the Abbey Gateway, the road leads to Roysse Court, named for local benefactor John Roysse, who was responsible for founding a free Grammar School on this site around 1568. Here you will find the Guildhall, not really one building but a series of much rebuilt historic buildings which have been used for a variety of civic purposes over time, including a school, courthouse, and civic offices.</i?
