The Town Hall (or Moot Hall as it is popularly known) dates from about 1550, but the foundation date for the town gaol is not known. Most likely no longer used by the mid-nineteenth century. Its condition in the early nineteenth century suggests that it was rarely used as anything more than a lock up.
