If you’ve ever visited the sleepy market town of Hadleigh, you’ll no doubt have caught glimpse of the town’s medieval Guildhall. The Grade I-listed timber-framed building, which can trace its origins all the way back to the 15th century, has a vibrant and fascinating history.
But did you know it was once the location of a former workhouse?
Local resident Peter Holland spent three years researching it for his master’s dissertation, following a lengthy career as a teacher.
