Abstract:		 Archaeological survey and assessment were undertaken at The Workhouse to establish the nature, condition and significance of the cultural heritage resource at the site, and to provide conservation management recommendations. The Workhouse was built in 1824, embodying changing approaches to the provision of welfare for the poor. This involved the creation of an isolated, enclosed complex, with segregation of residents by gender and age, as well as distinguishing between the able-bodied 'undeserving' poor and infirm and elderly 'deserving' poor. The workhouse was set in grounds that included kitchen gardens and orchards, as well as enclosed work and exercise yards. The design and principles of The Workhouse at Southwell were highly influential in the 1830s' amendment of the Poor Laws. The exceptional preservation of the structure and internal layout of the main workhouse complex allows for clear interpretation and understanding of the early 19th-century regime and attitudes to the poor, as well as modifications in line with changing policies over the 19th and 20th centuries. The building and grounds are considered to be of national heritage value. The nature, condition and significance of heritage assets has been described, and documentary research was undertaken to understand the landscape history of the survey area. The report also includes recommendations for conservation management and further research.
