Willliams Almshouses

Williams Almshouses are located on St Owen Street in Hereford. They were rebuilt in 1678 and again in the late 19th century. The building is constructed of brick with a Welsh slate roof and features four spurred brick stacks. It is two storeys high and has a six-window range, with late 19th-century, three-light casements set under gauged brick flat arches. There are six plank doors, paired for Nos. 137/139 and 141/143, which are positioned under segmental arches. The structure includes six square bays with casements supported on chamfered brackets, and a continuous verandah with a slate roof that rests on brackets. Notable features include a firemark, a tablet, and two reset carved stones. The right and left sides of the building display 17th-century brickwork, with some earlier masonry and carved stones. Inside No. 143, there is a 19th-century winder stair, and on the first floor, there are two 19th-century plank doors and partitions, along with architraves around the windows. All units of Williams Almshouses are believed to be similar in design.
