The Old Court House, Court Road, Rollesby, Norfolk
This building was originally a workhouse. It was built in 1776 at a cost of around £2,300. It could accommodate 400 inmates. The architect was Charles Elder. In 1818 and 1834 it was enlarged, but in 1836 it was partially burnt down. In 1922 the rear wing was rebuilt. In the late 19th century and early twentieth century, part of the building was used as a courthouse. There is an inscription above the right hand door which provides evidence of the buildings previous use: 'For the INSTRUCTION of YOUTH, The ENCOURAGEMENT of INDUSTRY, The RELIEF of WANT, The SUPPORT of OLD AGE, And the COMFORT of INFIRMITY and PAIN'.
