East Meon's workhouse was built at the same time as Kews and Paupers Cottages, in Workhouse Lane, and would probably have been similar architecturally.
What are today known as Paupers & Kews Cottages were built in the early 17th century for yeomen (despite the Act of Settlement which decreed that no house should be built in less than 4 acres of land. By the early 20th century they had fallen into disrepair and were rescued by Morley Horder, the owner of The Court House.
