Description
Delabere Almshouses are five almshouses dated 1637, which were restored in the late 20th century. They are constructed from sandstone ashlar and brick, topped with a tile roof. The building is one storey high with attics that are illuminated by five 20th-century gabled dormers. A moulded sandstone string course runs along the structure. The ground floor features five windows, which are 4-light stone mullioned windows set in recessed reveals. There are five entrances with semi-circular heads, each fitted with 20th-century glazed doors. The gable end of the building is made of stone on the ground floor, while the upper gable is brick and includes a restored inscription panel that reads: "This house was erected/ at the chardge of Mar -/ garet Delabere widow/ Late wife to Richard Delabere/ of Sowtham in Co/ of Gloucester equier and given/ by her for ever with Ann/ yearely allowance to-/ wards 5 poore widows/ of this parish An dni/ 1637".
