More about this scene
Following the move of the gaol and assizes to Bodmin in 1842, the grounds were landscaped and turned into a pleasure park by the Duke of Northumberland. Today, the thick coating of ivy on the tower and all the ornamental shrubs and trees are gone, allowing the tower on its mound to be seen in all its glory. The pump in the foreground, dating from 1796, is in what was the prison yard.
