Harrowgate Gaol
Harrowgate Gaol is an old and damp gaol with eleven cells, four of them dry, by the court house on the south bank. Its gaoler, Simon Yeadon, lives on fees, and prisoners without money are fed on daily bread from the priory. Between sittings it usually holds two or three men. Occasionally it also keeps a man sent from some district, in a condition that has no name, at the sheriff's pleasure. The gaoler talks about that district for nothing.
