The Round Market is a building in Tenbury Wells, Worcestershire, England, dating from 1858. It is a Grade II listed building.[1]
The market hall, built in 1858 to provide a covered space to sell butter and other products, is situated in Market Square, the centre of the town at the junction of Market Street, Cross Street and Church Street. It was designed by James Cranston, the architect of the National School (1855) and the Pump Rooms (1862), both of which are listed buildings in Tenbury.[2][3][4]
It is a brick single-storey building with a conical roof, and has a slightly oval plan. It is in Gothic style. Around the building there is a continuous row of four-light windows with tracery, and there are two entrances. Inside, the floor is paved with blue bricks in a herringbone pattern.[1]
