The Guildhall, Grantham..
The Guildhall and jail on St Peter’s Hill in Grantham was commissioned in 1866 by Mayor Thomas Winter after a criminal, Jesse Dale, who was serving 15 years for stealing, twice walked out of the town’s original jail in 1864.
Set in the heart of the town, this Victorian building can be identified by its magnificent clock tower, today it is a lively arts centre, with theatre, music and workshops taking place, together with a coffee shop and our tourist information centre.
