Description: | View looking north-west; school room was in use for services whilst the chapel was being altered at the time of the photograph.
Formerly a parish workhouse for 84 inmates; erected on the east side of Moor Lane in Southwell in 1808. It was designed by the Revd John T Becher in association with a local architect, believed to be Richard Ingleman. Becher published the plan of the workhouse in 1828 in his book 'The Anti-pauper System'. After the formation of the Southwell Poor Law Union in 1836 and the construction of a new workhouse ('Greet House' - now restored by the National Trust, see NCCE001847), the building seen here was converted into a Baptist chapel.
