Gnosall Lock-UP
Built in the 1830s, the Gnosall Lock-Up is one of three surviving lock-ups in the County, the other two are in Stafford and Alton. Come along and get a glimpse of what it would have been like being locked-up in the 1800's.
Scheduled: 12 September 2026 - 10:00 to 12:30
Visit Gnosall’s very own mini jail, learn some of the history around this little hidden gem, and see what it would have been like to be locked up in the 1800’s, as recently discovered by three of our Councillors who spent the night in the lock-up to raise money for community causes.
