Whittlesford is a village in Cambridgeshire, and also an old hundred. After the Reformation the parish retained possession of The Guildhall on North Road in Whittlesford, using it as a workhouse, poorhouse, or schoolroom from the early 1600s. A parliamentary report of 1777 recorded parish workhouses in operation in Whittlesford (40 inmates). The building, standing north-east of the crossroads is a timber-framed early-16th-century building, having a jettied upper storey with brackets and a carved bressumer and one medieval doorway. In 1966 the parish council sold the building, which was renovated in 1972. |
