Monument record: MCC9312 The Dedham Parish Workhouse, Dedham (Building)The location of this workhouse is recorded on the 1st Edition 1:2500 map (1874-1887), as the 'Whitmore Place', today as 'Whitmore House'. A Parliamentary Report of 1777 records a parish workhouse in Dedham for up to 48 inmates. The parish workhouse operated between 1725 and 1835 in a converted L-shaped building on Crown Street, now Whitmore House and/or Weavers Shed House (LB). An adjacent house is though to have been the workhouse master's house, now Sceoppa House. In 1775, the master received one shilling per week to feed and clothe each inmate. An inventory taken the same year included a workroom containing 20 spinning-wheels and four looms. Presumably, the residents would have been transferred to Lexden, Colchester, following the introduction of the 1834 Poor Act and the construction of the Lexden and Winstree Union Workhouse in 1836 (MCC4544).
