Lock Up With Forecourt Wall

This is a village lock-up built in 1824. It features an ashlar limestone front with coursed rubble on the sides and rear, topped with a stone slate roof. The building is single-storey and contains two cells, along with a small walled forecourt. The front gable has an ogee-shaped parapet with a ball finial. There are two square-headed openings that have been restored with 20th-century iron gates, and above each opening is a lunette of the same width, filled with an iron grid. A raised oval datestone is centrally placed above the openings. The sides and rear are plain, and the low forecourt walls have a central gate opening, although the gate is missing, and the walls feature plain coping. Inside, each cell has an oval stone tunnel-vaulted ceiling. This lock-up is a very well-preserved example of its type.
