This picturesque building beside the Avon began life as a merchant’s home. Wealthy William Lightfoot built himself a courtyard house in the 15th Century, which he called The Falcon. It became the city workhouse in 1628 and one range dates from the workhouse years. After the complex was taken over by the Diocesan Office for Salisbury, it was remodelled in 1887 by Weymouth architect George Crickmay. His hand can be seen particularly in the appealing river front.
