Description
The Old Gaol, dated 1805-1811, was designed by Daniel Harris of Oxford. It is constructed of coursed rubble and dominates the entrance to the town. The building features a hexagonal central structure with a slate roof, punctuated by a central ashlar shaft. A large entrance archway opens onto Bridge Street, with two storeys and three small windows above. Radiating from the central section are three lower wings, each with small, barred rectangular windows set within ashlar architraves. These wings are also covered with slate roofs, hipped at the quoins. A horizontal band separates the two storeys.
