Almshouses 1-10 And Wall With Gateway

The building consists of 10 almshouses, constructed in 1840. They are made of stock brick with some areas of red brick patching and limestone ashlar dressings. The roofs are slate with stone coped gables and kneelers. There are four tall ridge stacks on the central block and two projecting stacks at the rear of each wing, all featuring tall angle shafts. The almshouses form three sides of a courtyard and are two storeys high, with a nine-bay central block that has projecting gabled central and end bays.

The central archway has a moulded, four-centred head with a hood mould, and is flanked by single narrow rectangular lights. On each side of the gateway, there are two-light mullion windows next to a single narrow light with a triangular head. The projecting end bays include some red brick patching and feature single 20th-century casements with segmental heads. Above the gateway, there is a 20th-century casement and a plaque set in the gable that reads: 'Founded by Sir Edward Turnor Knt. 1695. Dona Dei Deo Amore et Exempio. Rebuilt 1840', along with a coat of arms.

Each end bay has a single triangular-headed light under a small gable, flanked by three-light mullion windows. The side wings are each two storeys and five bays, with a gabled central bay that projects slightly. They contain two doorways with shallow triangular heads and plank doors, alternating with three two-light windows, each light having a triangular head. Above the central window is a single narrow light with a triangular head. The end walls of each side wing have a pair of narrow plain sashes and a single narrow casement above.

A low brick wall encloses the fourth side of the courtyard, featuring a central gateway flanked by rectangular pillars with shallow triangular crowns. There are three low pilaster buttresses on the wall to each side, along with cast iron railings and a gate that has fleur de lys upper terminations.
