The Chimes was built circa 1845 (probably soon after the Fore Street fire of that year). It served as the police house until the police station was built circa 1863. The house contains two rooms used as cells. The ground floor cell has a stone slab ceiling and the first floor cell retains its heavy door and barred opening. Listed, grade II, with details at: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1097180
