The Almshouses, and adjoining forecourt and garden walls

The Almshouses, built in 1672 at the expense of Sir Samuel Jones, consist of a row of almshouses arranged around a square courtyard, with associated forecourt and garden walls. They are constructed of red brick with plain tile roofs.

The building is a single storey with attic accommodation. Moulded brick string courses are situated above the ground floor windows. The gabled ends have parapets, and large dormers with segmental-headed two-light wooden casements are visible in the roof. Integral brick lateral stacks extend from the rear, connected to the attics by pitched-roofed links and featuring paired diagonally-placed square shafts. Segmental-headed two-light wooden casements and mainly segmental-headed boarded doors are present throughout. The north range has eleven windows, with a door between the first and second windows from the left and two to the right; it has six dormers and two stacks. Formerly doorways are evidenced by straight joints beneath the fourth, fifth, eighth, and ninth windows from the left. The west range, with nine windows, has a door between the fourth and fifth windows from the left, five dormers, and three stacks. Straight joints beneath the first, fourth, seventh, and eighth windows indicate former doorways. The east range, also with nine windows, features a door between the fourth and fifth windows from the right. Five dormers and four stacks are present, with former doorways indicated by straight joints beneath the first, fourth, seventh, and eighth windows. The front gable ends have segmental-headed two-light wooden casements, while the ground floor features cross windows, with the left-hand window blocked but retaining its frame.

A red brick enclosing wall extends to the south, with the right-hand portion appearing partially rebuilt in the mid-20th century. It has chamfered grey sandstone coping. A central grey sandstone ashlar gateway is notable, featuring a chamfered rustication, an ovolo-moulded elliptical archway with rusticated voussoirs, moulded imposts, a frieze, and a moulded cornice. A large semi-circular pediment with a globe finial and carved coat of arms in the tympanum tops the gate. Flanking ashlar walls have chamfered coping, stepped up to the gateway with carved scrolls. An inscription on the frieze is largely illegible. C17 brick walls with stepped grey sandstone coping enclose the gardens to the rear.

The almshouses were founded in 1670 by Sir Samuel Jones to provide accommodation for sixteen elderly people, each receiving an annual allowance of £10. The inscription on the gateway, partially obscured at the time of survey, reads: "These Almshouses and Chappel were Given / and Endow'd by Sr Samuel Jones Knight / Anno Domini 1672". The almshouses and associated chapel are situated within the parkland surrounding Berwick House.
