II
1836 Former Union Workhouse. Built to replace Lord Weymouth’s 1727 or 1757 Workhouse which stood actually on the Common. Like Christchurch, it was felt to be in a more salubrious situation away from the Common it served. Two storeys, first floor of local rubblework, ground floor of channelled ashlar. Slate roof hipped to right. Nine windows front with central gabled break and two additional slightly set back windows to right. Glazing bar sashes, moulded architraves on first floor. Modern wide glazed gabled porch in front of central entrance. Three wings in star plan to rear, three storeys, each of seven bays with slight gabled break to centre; local rubblework with brick quoins and dressings and ashlar lintels grooved as brick flat arches to glazing bar sashes. Single story outbuildings to perimeter of star plus a two storey staff cottage to north. The local rubblework low boundary walls can still be traced through now partially demolished. Circa 1836, 3-4ft high.
