Aldermaston Gaol

Aldermaston Gaol, a Grade II listed building, is the village lock-up at the rear of the Hinds Head Inn in Aldermaston, Berkshire. Built out of red brick, the small single-storey building has a shallow domed roof. The inside of the lock-up measures approximately 7.5 feet (2.3 m) by 6 feet (1.8 m), and was enclosed by a studded door with a grille. It was last used in 1865 and its drunk inhabitant burnt himself to death trying to keep warm. The door has since been replaced.
