Step back in time and journey through the intriguing history of Beech Hill House, originally known as the Mitford and Launditch Union Workhouse, located in the picturesque village of Gressenhall, Norfolk. Established in 1777 by the Mitford and Launditch Hundreds Incorporation, this historic building served as a vital social institution during the 18th and 19th centuries. During the 1770s, the workhouse system was introduced in England as a means to provide relief for the destitute and the poor. The Mitford and Launditch Union, responsible for overseeing the welfare of the local community, constructed this imposing edifice to house and care for those in need. The building, now known as Beech Hill House, was later misspelled as "Beech Law" on this photograph taken in 1907. Over the centuries, the workhouse underwent various transformations, eventually becoming a museum that preserves the rich history of poverty relief and social welfare in Norfolk. As you explore the halls of Beech Hill House, you will uncover the stories of those who once called it home. Witness the stark contrast between the harsh realities of poverty in the 18th and 19th centuries and the compassionate efforts to provide shelter, food, and care for the less fortunate. With its grand facade and intriguing past, Beech Hill House stands as a testament to the resilience and determination of the human spirit, as well as a reminder of the historical significance of workhouses in shaping the social fabric of our communities. Today, visitors can visit this fascinating museum and learn about the lives of those who lived in the workhouse, gaining a deeper appreciation for the complex history of poverty and social welfare in Norfolk and beyond.
