Event Description:
A rare chance to look around this historic building which played a big part in Aylesbury’s past.
The Judges Lodgings was built in 1849-50 by E.B. Lamb to provide accommodation for the Assize judges on their visits to Aylesbury. It is a spacious four-storey building connected to the court rooms in the County Hall by an overhead passage. Judges continued to stay there until the abolition of the Assize courts in 1971.
Perhaps the most famous assizes for which the Lodgings was used was the trial of the Great Train Robbers at Special Assizes in 1964 before Mr Justice Edmund Davies.
The Judges Lodgings is still in use as a council office and also more recently it is used for wedding ceremony’s so it is not often open to the public,
