This grade II listed building is the former Town Hall and Market built in 1832. The ground floor has a recessed Doric colonnade in antis with four cast-iron columns. It was formerly open but blocked in the 1920s with metal frame windows and a central door. There are four bronze memorial plaques mounted below the windows and glass fronted information panels. The pilastered 1st floor has a full entablature. The windows are in moulded architraves with flat cornices, and glazing bar sashes. The rear wall rebuilt 1920s, and has a stone 1832 date plaque set on it. There are two Doric half-columns in the entrance hall.
The cellars are brick arched and there is also the former jail beneath.
The WWI plaques carry the names of the men of Upton who died serving their country:
