Hexham Old Gaol, in the centre of the town, was built between 1330 and 1333 and was used as a prison for almost 500 years. Inside its thick stone walls you'll find interactive displays on archaeology

The Hexham Old Gaol is in the town of Hexham, Northumberland, England. It is reputed to be the oldest purpose-built prison in England. The gaol was built under the order of Margot and William Melton, the Archbishop of York, in 1330–33. It held prisoners from Hexhamshire and also, in the 16th century, from the English Middle March, before their trial in the Moothall Court Room nearby
