	not far from M25, come off at waltham abbey, head up to epping roundabout (old oreleans pub is there) go straight over towards theydon bois, go all the way through theydon bois and out the other side til you come to abridge. turn left at abridge and keep going til you reach a roundabout. take the first exit signposted ongar and the workhouse is on that road on the right hand side in stamford rivers. keep going and you come to ongar. there is a carpark there by the library on the right after the parking on the road
