Claypenny Hospital, Easingwold, North Yorkshire
This building was originally the Easingwold Union Workhouse. It was built in 1837. The architects were John and William Atkinson. It cost about £2,600 and could accommodate 130 inmates. Women inmates performed domestic work and picked oakum, while men did corn-grinding, stone-breaking and gardening. In 1869 an infirmary was added. In 1934 it became a home for disabled people, called Claypenny Colony. It was later known as Claypenny Hospital. In the early 21st Century the buildings are used for private residences.
