Women in Dungeon

When: Ongoing

The Wymondham Bridewell was a model prison (1785) based on the ideas of the great prison reformer John Howard.

Below ground, see the re-created dungeon and the eight steps that Howard went down to inspect the dungeon. You can also handle the ankle chains from the original dungeon and view a display about the model prison.

Admission is included in the museum's normal admission prices.
