There were some prison cells in the late 18th century. It was a Police Station until 1954. Gaol House is Grade II* listed. Courthouse and prison, now offices and exhibition centre. 1784 by William Tuck. Gault brick with ashlar dressings. Plain tiled roof. 3 storeys in 5 bays. Rusticated quoins and string courses between each floor. Central rusticated field rising into first floor to terminate in an open pediment: arched doorway to ground floor below a recessed panel containing iron shackles and chains. Under pediment is a barred lunette. This grille pattern repeated in fanlight of the panelled door. Fenestration of sashes with glazing bars and gauged skewback arches. Low parapet with a stone achievement bearing a sundial arm. Gabled roof with internal gable-end stacks. INTERIOR. Prison yard to rear entered through an iron-clad lattice door with original fittings.
