SUMMARY:Shepton Mallet Prison – ON SALE
DESCRIPTION:There is over 400 years of history within these walls. Shepton Mallet Prison, often referred to as Cornhill or The Mallet, housed its first inmates in 1625.\nDuring the early years, the House of Correction consisted of rather primitive conditions. Prisoners were not necessarily separated by the seriousness of crime committed and men, women and children were often held together. The poor conditions and the lack of a wage being paid to the gaolers resulted in lax discipline, and promiscuous and drunken behaviour. Primitive sanitation led to regular outbreaks of diseases such as gaol fever.\nRather than using lengthy prison sentences as the punishment, fines, transportation, corporal and capital punishments were more commonly used. In fact, by the end of the 1700s, over 200 crimes were punishable by the death penalty. This was known as the Bloody Code.\nWill you spend the night here with us to attempt to make contact with the prisoners once held here at Shepton Mallet?\nLight refreshments will be provided complimentary. Hot & cold drinks, cakes, biscuits & crisps. Ham and cheese cobs will be available to purchase at £1.50. Please note: tickets are NON refundable or transferable once purchased. Strictly NO alcohol or drugs to be consumed on the property or before the event. If a member of the team think someone may be intoxicated you will be refused entry and will not be refunded. This is for the safety of our guests and staff. Are you brave enough to survive the night with The Wright Paranormal? Book this event now.\n
