Description
These are five almshouses located about 300 yards south of Bridge House. They were founded in 1682 by Sir Herbert Perrot, as noted on a central tablet, and were restored in 1887 to celebrate Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee. The almshouses are constructed from coursed sandstone rubble with timber-framed gables and have a tiled roof featuring four evenly spaced brick stacks on the rear slope. The building has a rectangular plan aligned north to south, is one storey high with an attic, and has four windows.
The west elevation showcases two prominent gables with brattished tie-beams on either side of a central open pedimented tablet. There is a string course between the storeys, and the windows are regular late 19th-century 12-pane casements, with two lunettes on either side of the center. Each gable has a pair of casements, and there are six ledged late 19th-century doors. A monument to Sir Herbert Perrot, who passed away in 1683, is located in the parish church of St Margaret.
