Workhouse, Glapthorne Road, Oundle

Sir George Gilbert Scott built this workhouse during 1836-7, in a late Classical style, to the Commissioners Plan. It was to house 150 inmates and cost around £4,400. It had a central raised octagon, the standard Kempthorne plan, from which four wings radiated. The main block was demolished in around 1990.
