Full Description
{1} A workhouse was in existence in Rothwell from middle of the C18th onwards. An indenture dated 1785 indicates that lease had been taken of a house (formerly the Boot and Crown) for 'the lodging, keeping, maintaining and employing of all such poor in the said such parish as should desire to receive relief or collection of the said parish'. The 1813 map of the village indicates 'Old Workhouse Close' in a plot of land to the east of Market Street and a 'Workhouse' located to the south of Fox Lane. There do not appear to be any surviving structures left relating to either of these areas.
