This historic property is made up of 3 distinct buildings connected internally: Masham's old Poor House believed to date from 1580, Masham's Historic Elizabethan Jail, and the town's fire station built in 1750.The single cell jail with its original oak cell door was used as a munitions store during the Napoleonic wars before returning to use as a lock up for the town's miscreants.
