The Rise and Fall of the British Workhouse

Published: April 25, 2021 at 9:02 am For many, the word ‘workhouse’ conjures up the image of an orphaned Oliver Twist begging for food from a cruel master. The reality, however, was somewhat different, and Britain’s system of poor relief arguably saved thousands of people from starvation over the course of its 300-year history. Advertisement The provision of state-provided poor relief was crystallised in the 1601 Poor Relief Act, which gave parish officials the legal ability to collect money from rate payers to spend on poor relief for the sick, elderly and infirm – the ‘deserving’ poor. Labelled ‘out relief’, handouts usually took the form of bread, clothing, fuel or money.

Children pictured outside their Painswick orphanage in 1930

THESE children are pictured outside the Painswick orphanage where they lived in 1930. The Gyde Orphanage for Protestant orphans of the locality and blind or deaf and dumb children opened in 1919 with money bequeathed by Painswick resident Edwin Francis Gyde. The home, which was intended to accommodate up to 70 children aged from 5 to 12 years, ran into financial difficulties not long after this photo was taken, and it was then taken over by the National Children s Home (NCH) in the early 1930s. It closed in 1997 and was converted to apartments in 2001. Peter Higginbotham of the childrenshomes.org.ukwebsite has carried out research into the history of the orphanage.
