‘The Life and Death of Hannah Wiltshire<\/strong>‘<\/p>\n

Accusations of murder and cover up\u00a0 in the Bedminster Union Workhouse were reported in the press during 1855<\/strong><\/p>\n

Thursday, 7th March 2024 at 19:30<\/strong><\/p>\n

This talk by Rosemary Caldicott is based on her popular booklet<\/a> which delves into the treatment of the mentally ill and other vulnerable patients resident in the former Bedminster workhouse during the mid-19th century. Situated in Flax Burton, North Somerset, just outside Bristol, this workhouse played a pivotal role in the the lives of the impoverished. Rosemary will shed light on the prevailing political stance of the time, which viewed poverty as a mark of moral deficiency, and explore how the landless poor were often left with no recourse but to seek refuge in these institutions.<\/p>\n
