This building, also known as Dean's Croft, dates from c.1685 and has an interesting history as set out in the list description (grade 2*, entry 1315485). Originally and until 1878 a "house of correction" (perhaps not quite the same as a prison as we now know it), it later served as a grain store, Police Station, private house (1958-1972) and now a museum.
SE3171 : Ripon Minster The west front is attributed to Archbishop Walter de Grey (late C12), who had the twin towers topped-out with lead-sheathed wooden spires. These latter were removed in 1664AD for fear the weight might bring the towers down. The result is a rather squat appearance for the Minster today.
