The Shire Hall was the County Assizes up until 1988. Today, visitors can act as a member of the jury in the creation of a Victorian murder trial that actually took place in Shire Hall.
In 1844 on the wind-swept slopes of Rough Tor, Bodmin Moor, the body of a local girl Charlotte Dymond was found. Her murder has intrigued ever since.
Visitors must watch the evidence before them and decide whether they believe Matthew Weeks, the accused, is guilty or not guilty?
