These two buildings can be found next to the Parish Church. The Workhouse was in use from 1735 to 1837 and the Dispensary gave 'Medical Aid to the Poor' between 1789 and 1866.

Footbridge over the Horncastle Canal
The Horncastle Canal alongside ran from the River Witham up to Horncastle. It was a broad canal with locks capable of taking boats of 15 ft beam. Fully opened from 1802, it was never a great success and the last commercial traffic ceased in 1910. There is some interest in restoring the canal to full working order.
Immediately north (left) of the footbridge, the River Bain enters from the left, whilst the canal bends right to reach the town centre.
