Description
The Almshouses and Tudor Lodge are two houses built in 1894, originally serving as estate almshouses. Designed by W. O. Hickson for the third Earl Manvers, they feature brick and mock timber framing with colourwashed plastered nogging, and have hipped and gabled plain tile roofs in the Tudor Vernacular Revival style. The buildings are set on a brick plinth and have three ridge stacks and a single external side wall stack, all corbelled.
The structure is two storeys high and consists of five bays arranged in an E-plan. The doors have ogee rubbed brick heads, while the windows are cross and mullioned timber casements. On the west front, to the left, there is a canted gabled bay with a casement and door, followed by two casements. The central gable has a projecting bay with a casement flanked by single doors, and to the right are two more casements. The canted right gable features a central casement and a door to the left, with three casements above. The central gable includes a datestone that reads, "Erected by Sydney William Herbert Pirrepont Third Earl Manvers for the benefit of the old labourers on the Thoresby Estate 1894. Pie Repone Te."
The return angle to the left has a door with a casement above, while the return angle to the right has a casement above. The south gable includes a casement with a segmental head and a door, with another casement above. The north gable features a door and a casement, along with a 20th-century porch that connects to the original wash house, which is a single storey with three bays and a large ridge stack, and has a casement above. The rear elevation has two short hipped wings.
