Wayland Hospital / Workhouse

Wayland Close is now a private, secluded cul-de-sac with 17 individually designed homes, built approximately 1996. The properties were designed in a Victorian style, retaining part of the original Victorian hospital. In the twentieth century it was known as Wayland Hospital. In early 1974 it was under the St Birinus Group Hospital Management Committee. Before this it was Bradfield Workhouse which was built in 1835.
