Brixworth Workhouse, Spratton Road, Brixworth

The Brixworth Workhouse, on the south side of Spratton Road, was opened in 1837 to house the poor of the village and the neighbouring parishes which formed the Brixworth Poor Law Union. A number of Howcutts who fell on hard times were inmates at some stage of their lives, including William (1834-1900), the last member of the family to live at Brixworth, who died there. 

Only the front part of the building survives; it is now in business use.
