HISTORY OF OLD ST MICHAELS:
Old Saint Michaels was built as a Union workhouse in 1837-8 by Royston architects, William Nash. William was 38 when he designed Old St Michaels and throughout his career he worked on many other projects in East Anglia, including other public and institutional buildings, churches and houses. He based his design on an 1835 model plan produced by Samson Kempthorne. Old St Michaels is a rare example of a hexagon plan workhouse with a Y shaped main building and is the last remaining of its kind in Essex.
The Kempthorne \"Y\" plan traditionally had a central \"hub\" from which radiated accommodation wings for the different classes of inmate defined by the Commissioners - infirm males, infirm females, able-bodied males, able-bodied females, boys, girls, and children under seven. Each complex also had an entrance or administrative block at the far end of one of the wings, infirmaries, and chapels and other larger buildings were often added to the basic shape. Ancillary single storied perimeter buildings gave each workhouse its distinctive hexagonal outline. The grounds were used as exercise yards, segregated according to class.
At Old St Michaels a large infirmary using this plan was built in c.1849 and the buildings underwent constant modifications throughout the nineteenth century. in 1896-1897, new casual and receiving wards and a new boardroom were built to the south of the workhouse. At the same time, the flanking wings the entrance block at the foot of the \"Y\" were rebuilt as infirmary accommodation. A new kitchen and chapel were erected between the hub and infirmary in the late nineteenth century.
In 1948, the workhouse became part of the newly formed National Health Service. The ensuing changes and additions were often rather unsympathetic to the original buildings.
The buildings that exist today comprise the \"Y\" with its three, three storey ranges and front entrance block flanked by the later infirmary wings. Many of the outbuildings and boundary walls arranged around the hexagonal perimeter also survive, as well as part of the original infirmary, casual and receiving wards, and board room. Other workhouse original features include its baking and laundry, complete with weighing scales!
LOCATION:
Situated within Old St Michales Drive, which is just off of Rayne Road, the property is located within NASH HOUSE, and is surrounded by pristinely maintained grounds and offers allocated parking directly in front of the property.
The property is within easy walking access of the town centre providing an array of shopping facilities, eateries, and further transport links, as well as being within walking distance of the railway station, providing a regular service into London Liverpool Street.
Braintree is a historic market town that benefits from a good selection of local primary and secondary schools including The Notley High School, Alec Hunter Humanities College, and Braintree Sixth Form College. Freeport designer outlet village and the A120 are also just minutes from the property.
