The Worthington Lock-Up

Secret Leicestershire

Available for over a year

In a corner of North West Leicestershire near Calke Abbey lies the village of Worthington. At the centre of the village is the "Worthington Lock-up". The lock-up used to provide an overnight cell for drunks to sober up, or for criminals ahead of their court dates. Dating from the late 1700s, it was also called the 鈥渞ound house鈥� even though it鈥檚 octagonal! Fully sober, Ben Jackson ventured in for a closer look.
