The Ionic portico on the Corn Exchange at Bury St Edmunds in Suffolk England UK designed by Ellis and Woodard and built 1861-2

---

Corn Exchange was designed by Ellis and Woodard and built by local builder Lot Jackaman in 1861-2 at a cost of £7,000. The front has a giant Ionic portico with a pediment on which are figures representing agriculture and the inscription “the earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof”. The two sides are divided into bays by stone pilasters. At the rear is a slate roofed colonnade, now a shop. This was originally part of the town shambles, which occupied most of the site on which the Corn Exchange now stands.
