Folkingham House of Correction ... In the early 19th century Folkingham was part of Quarter Sessions, the higher court that dispensed justice for the area, which explains why a House of Correction, or minor prison, was built. It was constructed on the site of Folkingham Castle. The surviving Grade II* listed buildings consist of the original 19th-century governor's house and gateway, dating from 1808 and 1825.It was closed in 1878 but was taken over in about 1980 by the Landmark Trust, an organisation that converts unusual and neglected British buildings into holiday accommodation with modern amenities. They transformed the Gateway into a holiday home.#architecture

Greenfields Lane, Folkingham This lane is a public right of way from Folkingham to the site of the old Medieval village of West Laughton. It is reasonably well surfaced with stone rubble with a thin overlying covering of earth. Not too many muddy areas so an easy walk or cycle ride.

I was in room 185 so I felt that I was walking forever to get there. The room was very outdated compared to my colleagues rooms just along the corridor I was finding how the lights worked around the bed area in the dark and the fan / air noisyconditioning unit was really noisy

Only downside was that there was a rancid smell coming from the kitchen , which made you feel sick. So sprayed perfume all over it. Wasn't enough forks to feed ...
