Description
1-4 Church Terrace are almshouses dated 1698, altered in 1810 with later repairs and additions. They are constructed of red brick in a mixed bond, featuring stone angle quoins and a moulded eaves cornice that rises around a central projecting pediment. The roof is hipped and covered with graded slate.
Originally seven dwellings, the building is now divided into four cottages and is single-storey. The symmetrical arrangement of windows includes 20th-century casements that replaced 19th-century latticed windows, with 18th-century or early 19th-century gauged heads flanking paired entrances on both the left and right. There is a similar arrangement of windows on either side of the entrance to the pediment, with doorways and adjoining windows at angles to the left and right. All entrances feature 20th-century nail-studded doors and 19th-century rectangular overlights. The ridge stacks were rebuilt in 19th-century red brick on either side of the pediment, along with integral end stacks.
The pediment bears a datestone inscribed with 'This School for the Education / of twelve poor Female Children / in the Doctrines of the Established Church / was instituted A.D. 1810 / By / Charlotte Vicountess Dungannon / Sit Deo Gloria.' Another datestone on the right end wall reads 'These Alms Houses / for the Maintenance of Six Poor Women / were founded A.D. 1698 / by the Rt. Hon.ble Sir JOHN TREVOR Kt. / of BRYNKINALT / Speaker of the House of Commons and / Master of the Rolls during the Reigns / of King William III.rd and Queen Anne. / Deus nobis hac otia fecit.'
