Llanfyllin Workhouse

by Llanfyllin Dolydd Building Preservation Trust.
(Powys)

The Llanfyllin Union Workhouse was built in 1838 – 39 to the design of Thomas Penson, the central figure in a noted family of architects.

The building is situated in open fields half a mile to the south east of Llanfyllin and presents an imposing dressed stone elevation towards the town.

Behind this front is a large, severe-looking complex in the shape of a cross with an octagon at the centre, topped by a cupola.
