The Jacket Women: Single Mothers of the Workhouse exhibition - Gressenhall Farm and Workhouse

From Monday 9 March 2026, explore a new exhibition at Gressenhall Farm and Workhouse in Norfolk. "The Jacket Women: Single Mothers of the Workhouse" features prints and installations by local artist Maria Pavledis, alongside historical objects from the site's past as Mitford and Launditch Union Workhouse. This 1777-1948 institution was a place for those needing assistance, often separating families. Pavledis' work, including large-scale prints and delicate paper jackets, brings to life the stories of single mothers who wore distinctive uniforms. Her pieces, inspired by literature and dance, aim to evoke emotion and history, offering a poignant look into their lives.
