The Great Hall of Leicester Castle

The Great Hall was built in around 1150 by Robert de Bossu, 2nd Earl of Leicester and was extensively rebuilt and the roof structure replaced in about 1523. The brick frontage dates from 1695. It was used as a Law Court until 1992. The Castle Yard was used for public executions. The Great Hall was also used for sessions of the English Parliament when conditions in London were not considered suitable.
