Hi, the old workhouse is on Old Weston Road just to the east of Flax Bourton, sandwiched between the B3130 and the A370. It is easily identifiable on Google Earth. Most of the buildings are still there, including the chapel (now deconsecrated), and have been converted into luxury offices. What documents still exist pertaining to the workhouse and its inmates are held at the Somerset Heritage Centre in Taunton, though documents from many years have not survived.
