Monument record TQ 65 NE 480 - Nineteenth century workhouse
Summary
Nineteenth century workhouse, the majority of which were constructed in two main phases (1836 was the earliest phase, while a later phase probably dated to the 1870s). Although there were two main phases, excavations suggest that there were many alterations to the complex. Between 1938-1945, the site of the workhouse was used by the military during the second world war.
