Sergeant's House and Gaol
High Street
The Town Sergeant's House was built in 1750. Inside it still has its old cells with their heavily studded doors. Below was a dungeon, whose grated window can be seen outside at street level.
The building was once used as a private residence, and until 1998 housed a Tourist Information Centre. However, the Information Centre has now moved to premises near the church, and the Sergeant's House has reverted to residential use.
Against the wall outside is a late 17th century cannon. Another cannon is displayed in Littlestone Road.
