Plans were approved for the construction of Union
Workhouse in 1779 and it was completed in 1781 at a cost of £12,000. According to White's Directory for Suffolk of 1844 it was described in 1810 as having "more the appearance of a gentleman's seat than a receptacle for paupers".

The lodge later became Stow Lodge
Hospital until its closure in 1991. The hospital was scheduled as a building of architectural and historical interest in 1956 and listed as Grade II in 1988. It was later converted to residential use.

Inmates who died whilst in the workhouse were buried in the paupers graveyard nearby, which was purchased by
Onehouse Parish Council in 2000 and is maintained by volunteers.
