The Almonry

The Almonry is an early 16th-century abbey almonry, later converted into a residential building, probably two dwellings, and now a single house. It underwent alterations in the late 16th and early 17th centuries, with a restoration in 1973 by the Worcestershire Building Preservation Trust. The building is timber-framed with rendered infill on a stone plinth, and has a renewed plain tile roof with a large brick stack to the rear.

The exterior is two storeys with four framed bays, including a through-passage, and a lower wing was added to the west. The north side has three renewed windows on the first floor, within timber-framing divisions, containing 2-light 6/6-pane casements, paired to the right-hand bays. On the ground floor, there are two small-pane 1-light windows to the left bay, and two 3-light 6/6/6-pane windows to the right bays. A 20th-century door leads to the through-passage. Close-studding is visible below the mid-rail, and there is a plinth of coursed rubble stone. The lower wing on the right is blind. The rear (south) elevation features 6/6-pane casement windows and a 20th-century door to the through-passage. The interior was not inspected during the listing process.
