Richard Johnson Almshouses

The Richard Johnson Almshouses are a row of six almshouses, now reduced to four, built in 1699 with 20th-century alterations. They are constructed of red brick with brick and stone dressings, featuring a steeply pitched plain tile roof that has moulded stone copings on plain brick kneelers, along with two brick gable stacks and two brick ridge stacks. A timber eaves band runs along the roofline.

The building is two storeys high and consists of six bays. In the center, there is a passageway with a chamfered stone doorcase, which holds a studded wooden door fitted with strap hinges. Above the doorcase is a stone panel that reads, "These houses were built and these inhabitants are maintained by the charity of Richard Johnson, Gent, late of this towne. Anno Domini 1699."

On either side of the passageway, there are flat-headed half-glazed 20th-century plank doors, followed by segment-headed 2-light casement windows. Further along, there are two small 20th-century windows in blocked segment-headed openings, and a segment-headed half-glazed plank door with a 2-light segment-headed window on the far side. Above, there are six small 2-light casement windows.
