Foxe'S Almshouses And Attached Wall To Right

Foxe's Almshouses, dated 1590, are a set of almshouses constructed from coursed rubble with a plain tile roof and two brick stacks at the rear. The building has a symmetrical two-storey layout with four units, featuring a four-window range of paired 19th-century mullion casements with lattice lights set in moulded quoined ashlar cases. The structure includes sawn oak rafters and four 19th-century plank doors within chamfered quoined stone cases. Above the central doors, there is a painted tablet displaying a coat of arms with the initials C F and the date 1590, all under a chamfered hood mould. The left gable is rendered to laths, while the right gable features a timber frame with brick infill and a simple glazed opening in a stone surround. The rear of the building shows stone stack bases with dripcourses, some 16th-century stepped brickwork above, and tiled gables from the roofs.
