Description: William Winckworth was a teacher at Bath Workhouse. Allegations about Winckworth were received by the Bath Board of Guardians in the form of an anonymous letter claiming that he was 'of the independent religions'. The diary is written into 'Dietrichsen & Hannay's Diary and Daily Memoranda for 1856, bound up with their Almanack'. The original diary is in private hands, but the Record Office holds a photocopy of the manuscript section of the diary and a transcript of the same made in 2005.
