Beneath the cross on the monument above and entered by a door in the rear is a holding cell for the local scoundrels of their day in Winsford. Built in 1830 prisoners were held overnight untill the morning where the local magistrates dealt out swift justice at courts held in the George and Dragon public house. Picture below...given the severity of punishments of the day I wonder how many had a final ale in the old pub....
