Description

Moore's Almshouses is a range of five almshouses built in 1839, designed in the Tudor style. The building is one and a half storeys high, constructed of brick with a stone plinth, quoins, and dressings, topped with a plain tiled roof. It features shouldered stone coped gables and has four large brick ridge stacks with stone dressings; the two central stacks have four diagonal flues arranged in an X shape, while the outer stacks are aligned axially. The original chimney pots remain intact.

The front elevation has a single range of five windows, with a projecting central two-storey gable that includes one-storey outshuts at the angles. There are four dormer gables with shaped kneelers. The stone mullion windows vary from one to four lights, and the windows with three and four lights, as well as the doorways, are topped with hood-moulds. The doorways feature Tudor arches and ledged doors. Both end walls have a central doorway with two-light mullion windows above. The rear of the building has six gables, each with two-light mullions above and doors and one-light windows below. A tablet inscribed with 'A.D. 1839' is located above the central front ground floor window.
