Kingswood
There was a small workhouse in Kington according to a report in 1771, but a later bigger workhouse was built in 1837. The building became a nursing home in 1962 and now, much altered, it is used as offices for a housing association.
For general conditions in workhouses please see Hereford or Ledbury Union Workhouses.
