Following the closure of the workhouse, the buildings were used as a geriatric hospital. None of the workhouse buildings still exist, save the former chapel. The single-storey buildings behind Restore, now used by Oxford Health NHS Trust for mental health services, seem to date from the time of the geriatric hospital (1960s?).
