Custos of Manchester Sally Porteous (third right) with guests recently at the Mandeville courthouse.
She was with a 15-member group from the Georgian Society in England, that toured the building.
The Georgian Society, which has a branch in Jamaica, has among its functions the responsibility to preserve buildings and other edifices erected during the colonial Georgian period of history.
As part of the sustainable development plans in the parish, the present courthouse is set to one day be converted to a museum.
There are plans for a modern and regional justice centre to be built on 40 acres of donated land at Kingsland, west of Mandeville.
A new courthouse is slated to be among the facilities that will be in place. (Photo: Gregory Bennett)
