By an indenture of this date, the Guardians of the Poor of Peterborough Union conveyed the old Werrington Workhouse to the Trustees of the Werrington School Charity. It was then converted into two cottages, to be used as schoolhouses by the master and mistress of the new school built on the other side Church Street.
