Bodmin Gaol, was the former County Prison, and was built in 1777 it replaced the old Debtor's Prison (now the Hole-In-The-Wall Public House). The Gaol was rebuilt in the 1840's. 55 hangings took place there, 51 of which were public hangings. The last public hanging was in 1909 prior to the prison's closure in 1922. During the First World War, the Domesday Book, and it is said by some, the Crown Jewels, were amongst some of the treasures entrusted to Bodmin Gaol for safe keeping.
