38 Flowergate This Grade I listed building was originally constructed in the 16th century. In 1636 the building was used as a courthouse, gaoler's lodgings and house of correction. It was modernised during the late 17th century and early 18th century and was reportedly used as a police station as la

te as 1853, when it was then occupied by solicitors. The building was re-modelled in the late 1800s and escaped the demolition fate of many adjoining buildings.
