Description:The Gate-house stood on Gaol Road and contained the reception ward and a room for the warders. The roof of the gate-house was used as the place of execution until 1817, when new gallows were built on a cart and brought out before the gate-house when required.

The original oak doors which each weighed 1.5 tons have been replaced by a sliding metal door.
