The building is a Victorian interpretation of thirteenth Century Gothic architecture. Imposing Portland stonework, beautiful mosaic marble floors, stunning stained glass windows, elaborate carvings and oak wood panelling can be found throughout the many, many corridors of the building.

The walls of the magnificent Great Hall are lined with a fabulous collection of portraits, which include works by Wright, Lawrence and Shee and portray past Lord Chancellors and keepers of the Great Seal.

The building also houses the Costume Display Gallery which celebrates the evolution of legal costumes throughout history as well as the Painted Room and Bear Garden which Queen Victoria allegedly named after a bear pit which reminded her Highness of the crowds of litigants and lawyers there.

All of these rooms are available for hire once the Courts have adjourned for another day.
