There was a lock-up at Okeford Fitzpatrick. Attached to a barn the whole site was subsequently converted into a charming thatched cottage.. The oak door with grille and pointed arch doorway were incorporated into the facade of the new building.
There is a sketch of the building in Lelie Brooke's book page 43.

This lock-up at Swanage dates to 1803 (datestone). It was moved from a corner of the churchyard in about 1860 to its present location in a small square behind the town hall.
It does not appear to be a listed building.

OF THE OLD LOCK-UP
WHICH STOOD HERE '.
