Grain silos dwarf the former gatehouse to the workhouse. It was built by Sir Gilbert Scott in 1837. The workhouse closed in the 1970s and most of the buildings were demolished in 1978. The gatehouse steadily fell into ruin until Heritage Lincolnshire restored and repaired the structure in 2001. The building, renamed Scott House is now owned by Lincolnshire County Council and operates as a resource centre for adults with physical disabilities.
