The restrained Georgian buildings make a powerful setting for thinking about poverty and the treatment of people who needed help. Explore the workhouse and infirmary together rather than treating the site as simply another historic house. The recreated vegetable garden adds a practical view of how an institution fed its residents and organised daily life.
What to look for
The workhouse buildings date from 1824.
