Workhouse history

Hello Everyone,
A lot of people are interested in the history of the workhouse as from time to time we all come across them when searching for our ancestors. Below I have listed some useful links into the history of these institutions

The national trust Workhouse is well worth a visit, can thoroughly recommend it, there is very little in the way of furniture but the staff are very helpful, we found ourselves using our imaginations while exploring the building and its grounds
