Description

Hartismere Union Workhouse was built in the late 18th century. It was altered by William Mason between 1835 and 1840, following the 1834 Poor Law Amendment Act. It consisted of a long main block, with two excercise yards to the rear, the ancillary buildings were to the northwest. The workhouse has been demolished and the site is now occupied by a late 1980s housing estate.
