More about this scene
The Shire Hall was built in 1724; the statue below the clock face is of Henry V, placed there in 1792. It was in this very hall that John Frost and his fellow Chartists were tried in 1839 - they were initially condemned to death, but this sentence was eventually commuted to transportation. The statue to the front of the building is of C S Rolls, one of the founders of the Rolls- Royce car company, who lived at nearby Hendre and was killed in a flying accident in 1910.
