Description
The former Penitentiary, with a chapel built by John Lee Archer in 1831, is now thoroughly restored. Few Georgian church buildings are as well preserved as this little chapel. In 1860 two wings of the Penitentiary were converted into the criminal courts, still in use until 1983. There are conducted tours of the cell blocks and the execution court.
