Join the team on this ghost hunting experience at Buckingham Old Gaol 

The Old Gaol was built in 1748 for Richard Grenville Temple, Lord Viscount of Cobham. (Sir ) George Gilbert Scott, born in Gawcott, added Cells and a Gaoler’s house in 1839. Many prisoners were held and kept within this old goal in damp, cold and chilling cells; no heating was provided, nor was any lighting or toilet facilities. The harsh conditions meant that many people held here sadly lost their lives because they were only fed on bread, soup, gruel, and water; the meat was only given to the many inmates on high days.

The many prisoners exercised in the roofless yard and spent hard times in the punishment cell for misdemeanours.

There are many reported deaths here in gaol, other prisoners escaped over the wall, and another walked out when the gaoler went home and forgot to lock the door. The former Gaol is haunted and has received hundreds of reports of strange happenings over the years.

The building has also been used as a police station, a fire station, an air-raid shelter and an ammunition store. In 1984, after several demolition threats, the building was bought for a song by a charitable trust and saved for the town.

It is now run and maintained by volunteers.
