Old Parish Lock Up

The Old Parish Lock-up, dating to approximately 1730, is now part of the entrance passage to a later house. It was built into the garden wall of No.14, Cannon Place. The structure is a brown brick wall with a plinth and circular tie plates. It is a single-story building with two windows. A segmental arched doorway has a brick dentil cornice and retains its original ledged and braced door with wrought-iron hinges, flanked on either side by small, heavily barred lunettes. Inside, the lock-up contains a vaulted brick single cell. Historically, prisoners were held here before appearing before magistrates at No.14 Cannon Place. The lock-up remained in use until 1832 and is one of the few remaining in London.
