More about this scene
Looking East from Wood Street An inn has stood on this site for 400 years. It was known as the Crown until about 1810, when it was renamed in honour of the Goddard family, the lords of the manor of High Swindon. The Magistrates' Court for Swindon was held here until the Old Town Hall was built in the Market Square in 1852. In April 1914, Francis Priscilla Hunter, aged 23, a between-maid here, was shot dead by her jealous lover, Walter James White. He was executed for the murder at Winchester in June 1914.
