The Parish poor and the Workhouse

John Rigarlsford

Local parishioners at Axbridge Workhouse


The 1834 Poor law Union workhouse.

 In 1831 an average of 8s.1d  per person per annum was spent on the relief and accommodation of the poor and destitute.

In order to make the accommodation and care of the poor more economical, in 1834 the Union Workhouse act was introduced.

This enabled the establishment of large Workhouses or Poor Law Institutions that would cater for a larger area or Union of parishes. The conditions and rules in these larger establishments were sometimes even more harsh and impersonal than the local poorhouse.
However for some, such as unemployed farm servants, the facilities were better than living in the unsanitary and tumbledown hovels that  they were sometimes forced to call home!

 

Workhouse women.

 

The old, the infirm, the handicapped and the able bodied poor were all accommodated together.

 

 Husbands and wives were separated into dormitories and not allowed to meet, and many children were housed separately from their parents on the premise of giving them a Christian upbringing.

 

Workhouse children.

 

Orphaned and  children of long term inmates were given basic education and training. And often from the age of 12 years, were apprenticed for up to seven years to work in the local community as domestic servants and farm labourers etc. where their masters were liable for their welfare.

 

 

All able-bodied inmates, men, women and children were put to work locally or on onerous tasks such as scrubbing floors, laundry, breaking stones and picking Oakum.
   

Women picking Oakum.

 (Short lengths of tarred rope which had to be unpicked to be re-used for ramming between the planks on ships to make the decks etc watertight)

 

Note: These images are not from the Axbridge Workhouse.

 


The Axbridge Poor Law Union Workhouse.

 

The Axbridge Poor Law Union came into being in 1836. It was governed by a Board of Guardians, representing the 38 parishes of the Union.

Axbridge, Badgworth, Banwell, Berrow, Biddisham, Blagdon, Bleadon, Brean, East Brent, South Brent, Burnham with Aston Morris, Burrington, Butcombe, Chapel Allerton, Charterhouse, Cheddar, Christon, Churchill, Compton Bishop, Congresbury, Hutton, Kewstoke, Locking, Loxton, Lympsham, Mark, Nyland with Batcombe, Puxton, Rowberrow, Shipham, Uphill, Weare, Wedmore, Weston-super-Mare, Wick St Lawrence, Winscombe, Worle, Wrington with Broadfield.
Later Additions: Brent Knoll, North Highbridge, South Highbridge (from 1896).

(Note: South Brent at that time, is the area we now call Brent Knoll. Its possible that the name Brent Knoll replaced South Brent in the Union records in 1896. when it came into everyday use? .JR).

 

The population within the Union of parishes at the 1831 census had been 28,794 with parishes ranging in size from Nyland with Batcombe (population 52) to Wedmore (3,557).

 

A new Axbridge Union workhouse was erected in 1837 at the south side of West Street in Axbridge at a cost of £4,496.17s.6d  the building was intended to accommodate 250 inmates  The site location and layout are shown on the 1929 OS map by which time the workhouse had become officially known as Axbridge Poor Law Institution.

The Axbridge Workhouse. circa 2000.

Many workhouses were imposing buildings but hiding stark interiors!
 

 

Initially, workhouse medical facilities were often minimal and were sometimes under the charge of a local doctor,
The majority of inmates were undernourished or infirm etc. so gradually hospital and isolation wards were added. Later these facilities were made available to the general public and became the local Hospitals and Infirmaries for the area.
A separate Infirmary block was added to the Axbridge Workhouse in 1903.  The workhouse was in use until the 1930's  The workhouse buildings later became St Johns Hospital. The Hospital closed in 1993 and has now been converted for residential use.

 

Fortunately, for the poor and destitute within the Axbridge Union Area, The Axbridge Workhouse was mostly run, as humanely as was possible subject to the rules and regulations laid down at the time. 
 Richard Trew the Mayor of Axbridge was appointed Clerk to the Board of Guardians of the Axbridge Union almost from its beginning until his death in 1874 was responsible for the setting up, overseeing the conduct, the administration and the running of the workhouse.  Richard Trew had a humanitarian view of the poor and needy and worked tirelessly for their needs.
