About Fencing in Bodmin
Bodmin served for centuries as the county town of Cornwall, home to its courts and jail, with the Church of St Petroc standing as the largest religious building in the county until Truro Cathedral was completed at the end of the nineteenth century. Bodmin Jail, built with the help of French prisoners of war and expanded to 220 cells by 1861, saw over fifty public hangings before closing in 1927 and later reopening as a museum and hotel.
