Claypenny Hospital (previously the Easingwold Union
Workhouse) was originally the Easingwold Union Workhouse. It was built in 1837.
The architects were John and William Atkinson. It cost about £2,600 and could
accommodate 130 inmates. Women inmates performed domestic work and picked
oakum, while men did corn-grinding, stone-breaking and gardening. In 1869 an
infirmary was added.
In
1934 it became a home for disabled people, called Claypenny
Colony. It was later known as Claypenny Hospital. It
closed in 1993 and the buildings are used for private residences.
