Little Market House undergoes external repairs

27 July 2010

Work has now started on external repairs to the Little Market House - known locally as the Pepper Pot building - in High Wycombe. The works are expected to take 20 weeks and are expected to be completed in December.

Repairs to the roofs, brickwork, stonework and joinery, improvements to the under croft lighting and complete external redecoration will be carried out over the coming months.

Little Market House is in the historic centre of High Wycombe, opposite the Guildhall on the High Street. It was originally built in 1604 and subsequently remodelled by Robert Adam in 1761.

A three metre high hoarding will surround the site during the works and High Wycombe Town Centre Partnership will be running a competition for artwork to decorate the hoarding.
