Workhouse Visiting Society
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Workhouse Visiting Society was an organisation set up in 1858[1][2] and existed "to improve moral and spiritual improvement of workhouse inmates" in England and Wales.[3] The group was set up by Louisa Twining of the Twinings tea family.[4] It began as a sub-committee of the National Association for the Promotion of Social Science. It was disbanded in 1865.[5]
