Devizes Town Hall

Devizes Town Hall and Lock Up

The current town hall was built in 1808, replacing a Yarn Hall built in 1575.


The lock-up is the oldest part of the building, dating back to around 1650, this is the dungeon below Devizes Town Hall and is where miscreants spent the night before being paraded in front of magistrates the following morning.


We have access to this spooky area and the Council Chamber, Assembly Hall and Cheese Hall.


The Town Hall is reputedly haunted by a ghostly lady who has been seen often on the stairwell , visitors and staff also complain of feeling uncomfortable in the lock up area and the sense of being watched.
