Clover Almshouses

Clover Almshouses are a pair of almshouses built in 1901 by Woolfall and Eccles. They feature coursed and squared stonework with a stone flagged half hipped roof. The buildings are single-storeyed, each designed with a double-pile, two-unit plan and an outer doorway set in a slight recess. The doors are from the late 20th century but retain the original moulded architraves. Each almshouse has a three-light mullioned window in a blind arched recess, with an advanced central bay topped by a segmental gable. There are paired three-light mullioned windows divided by a pilaster, all beneath a continuous stepped hoodmould. A short pilaster supports a low-relief coat of arms in a niche above. The end wall and axial stacks feature diagonal flues. An inscription in the central gable states, "Erected to the Memory of George Robert Clover by Emily Clover his widow A.D. 1901."
