NHER 23389 (Building record) - Post medieval workhouse

25 February 1987. Visit.
Workhouse, so marked on tithe award map 1840s.
On 1840s map as a rectangular courtyard building, but shown on 6in OS as two L-shaped buildings: west end north range and south end east range having gone. Now consists of west range, formed of two storey cottage, rendered ground floor, painted brick above, externally featureless as to dating. South range, single storey long low wing with dentiled cornice, all rendered over, divided (at a later date?) into several small cottages. North range all gone except extreme east end, which resembles south range. No trace east range. Looks like an 18th century cottage with the courtyard ranges added to it not long before 1840.
Courtyard now grass.

13 February 2001. Revisited.
The remnant of the north range was demolished in 1990 and a new house built on the site of the former east range.
Ground floor rendered, upper floor of bricks with horizontal skintlings (post c1770).
Present owner of this section says building was erected with proceeds from the sale of the White House as a charitable concern; the main block was the dormitory, one wing a bakery, the other for weaving to employ the inmates.
Interior of main block totally gutted in 1970s.
