Ripon Workhouse & Garden Museum
Walk in the footsteps of the Victorian poor and explore the Workhouse Museum learning about the history of Victorian Britain. Discover the stories from the 1800 learning about the people who lived in the workhouse and the experiences they had.
Experience the Victorian Workhouse starting at the original gatehouse building, with the Guardians' Room, inmates' bathing area, Vagrants' Cells and the Receiving Ward. See the contrast between the Master & Matron's quarters and the Victorian kitchen, scullery, dining room and school room.
Wander around the restored kitchen garden, cultivating heritage crops using methods the inmates once used.
