Buckingham Old Gaol Trust

The charitable trust owns and manages the Old Gaol, located in the centre of historic market town of Buckingham. It was built in 1748 in the style of a castle, with later additions in 1839 by the famous local architect George Gilbert Scott. The purpose-built prison now tells the story of Buckingham and rural life in the fascinating museum, including the new Flora Thompson Collection and Buckinghamshire Military Trust exhibits. A number of the original cells still remain and form part of the museum visitor's experience. The building also includes a shop, tourist information centre and changing exhibitions.
