Town Lectures and Concerts 2019

This year will be the twentieth series of the highly popular Town Lectures and Concerts.
The lectures present Ipswich, with its rich history and cultural background through the
eyes of Suffolk-based speakers and with concert performances from local musicians.

Lecture -11 July

AT THE OVERSEER’S DOOR with Ray Whitehand

Suffolk’s parish workhouses were in operation between the 1570s and the 1834 Poor Law
Amendment Act. Today’s talk describes the three types of workhouse that existed in the
county over a period of nearly 400 years. It examines the first of these places of residence and
employment – the parish workhouse – and describes the type of premises used, where to find
them, how they were managed, the types of inmate, and the effect they had on the local economy.
