This ominous looking Bodmin Jail was originally built for King George III in 1779. The jail you see now was built by prisoners who brought the 20,000 tonnes of granite it took to build from Bodmin’s “Cuckoo Quarry”.

During the First World War, the jail played host to the Domesday Book, and state papers. It was also reported that it held the crown jewels for a time.

During its darkest times as a place of punishment, the jail held over 150 prisoners, a total of 55 prisoners were executed by hanging. In 1844 a crowd of 20,000 gathered to watch the execution of the Lightfoot brothers (William and James) who were convicted for the brutal robbery and murder of a local well known timber merchant (Neville Norway) .

The last hanging was held here back in 1909 and was for a William Hampton. The hanging was a private affair with only prison staff, the Governor, High Sheriff, Mayor, and local Vicar present.
