The Workhouse
About This AttractionSuggest an Edit
Ever wondered what it would have been like in a 19th century workhouse? Then bring the family here to the last complete workhouse in existence. Watch the introductory film and learn all about Reverend Becher the founder and immerse yourself in the unique atmosphere evoked by the audio guide. Discover all about poverty through the centuries and explore the segregated work yards, day rooms, dormitories, master's quarters and cellars, then see the recreated working 19th century garden and find out what food the paupers would have eaten. Throughout the year there are many family events organised so make sure that you check out their website
