The new townhall of Northampton, 1864. Creator: Unknown
The new townhall of Northampton, 1864. 'The architect of the new hall is Mr. Edwin Godwin, of Bristol; Mr. John Watkin is the builder. The design is of a Gothic style, as appears from our Illustration. The statues, furnished by Mr. Boulton, of Worcester, which adorn the front of the edifice, represent St. George, St. Michael, Richard I., Henry III., Edward I., Edward IV., Henry VII., and Queen Victoria. There are sculptured groups of subjects from English history on the arches of the lower windows, and many other decorations, which our limited space will not allow us to describe. Upon the whole, the new Town-hall of Northampton is such an edifice as few provincial municipalities can boast'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864
