More about this scene
Nearby, just into the High Street, there is another building of similar antiquity, the Tribunal. It dates from the early 15th century and is so- called because it was thought to be the courthouse of the Abbots. In fact the earliest use of the name was only in 1791 and the place is now considered to have begun merely as the house of a wealthy local merchant. It was later used by the infamous Judge Jeffreys when he was trying support- ers of the Duke of Monmouth after the failure of the Duke's rebellion. The origi- nal timber front was replaced with stone around 1500. This is an interesting pre- Museum shot, with the building showing signs of dereliction in the windows and roof. The emblems over the door are the Tudor Rose and the Tudor Royal Arms.
