Later extended to accommodate 300 residents, it was designed by John Plowman and a southside chapel was later used by Danetre Hospital as a morgue. The Workhouse now acts as an administration block for the new hospital to the rear, opened in 2006. Recorded plaque organisation: Daventry Heritage Trail.
