Hexham is just a 20-minute drive from Wark and is home to England’s earliest purpose-built prison. The Old Gaol offers an insight into the harsh world of prisoners in the 14th century. Your dog is welcome inside to explore the museum with you.
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
