Workhouse, Brackley Road, Towcester

This workhouse was designed and built in 1835-7, in Classical style, from Ironstone to house 208 inmates at a cost of £4,000. Another £1,000 was authorised to complete the building in 1837. It had a plain main block with octagonal rear and wings. In 1986 it was converted into housing, becoming ‘Gilbert Scott Close’.
