EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the stark contrast between the Workhouse at the centre and the picturesque Parish Church at Wisborough Green, Sussex, circa 1910. The Workhouse, a symbol of the harsh realities of poverty and social welfare during the Victorian era, stands imposingly with its high brick walls and barred windows. Its sombre and austere appearance reflects the institutionalised living conditions endured by the paupers who sought refuge within its walls. In stark contrast, the Parish Church, with its graceful Gothic architecture and tranquil surroundings, represents the spiritual and communal heart of the community. The verdant greenery and the serene beauty of the churchyard offer a stark contrast to the Workhouse, providing a sanctuary for reflection and solace. Petworth Union, the administrative body responsible for the management of the Workhouse, was established in 1836 as part of the Poor Law Amendment Act. The Act aimed to provide a more efficient and cost-effective system of poor relief, leading to the construction of large, centralised Workhouses to house and provide for the destitute. Despite the stark contrast between the Workhouse and the Parish Church, they both played essential roles in the lives of the people of Wisborough Green. The Workhouse provided a safety net for those in need, while the Church offered spiritual guidance and a sense of community. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the complex and often challenging social landscape of the past, and the resilience and adaptability of communities in the face of adversity.
