Monday 6th February 2017 - St Audry's, Melton, Suffolk Workhouse to Asylum by David Phelan David returns after his successful talk last year on Sutton Hoo. His talk covers the history of St Audry's from 1765 when the Melton Workhouse was opened. The Workhouse closed in 1826 and reopened in 1829 as The Suffolk County Asylum for Pauper Lunatics. Asylums are regarded as being grim places but it was different at St Audry's which was one of the largest employers in the area and had a reputation as a progressive regime. |
