Description
Newland Almshouses, built in 1857 for Mary Newland, are almshouses for women located on Guild Street in Stratford-upon-Avon. The building is constructed of brick with ashlar dressings and features a tiled roof with cresting and two brick cross-axial stacks. It is two storeys high and has a symmetrical four-window range. The design includes a brick plinth and a platt band above the ground floor, plain boxed eaves, and stone-coped gables with kneelers.
The central porch is large, flanked by smaller end porches that also have coped gables. The entrances are segmental-pointed with doors that have small lights. The front windows consist of two-light single-chamfered-mullioned windows with label moulds and lattice glazing, with a two plus two-light window in the central porch and slit windows in the gables. The windows on both the ground and first floors have chamfered reveals and three-light casements. The stacks feature fillets and caps with tall pots. The rear of the building has two wings with extensive 20th-century additions.
