[3] There was also a lock-up for criminals in the basement and it is likely that Joan Perry, and her two sons, John and Richard Perry, who were hanged for the supposed murder of the rent collector, William Harrison, were held in this cell in 1660: Harrison re-appeared several year later in mysterious circumstances and his re-appearance became known as the Campden Wonder.

[3] A clock was added at the base of the belfry in 1882 but the borough council, which had met in the town hall, was abolished under the Municipal Corporations Act 1883.
