Description
A row of almshouses was rebuilt in 1841 to a design by James Tacey Wing. The building incorporates a date plaque from the original structure, dating to 1634. It is constructed of coursed limestone rubble with an old clay tile roof and stone gable coping. The building is two storeys high with an additional attic level. There are five gabled dormers, each with stone gable coping and a two-light mullioned casement window containing some original leaded lights. The ground floor features five three-light casement windows, also mullioned, with modern plate glass and drip mouldings. The doorways have simple wooden plank doors within surrounds similar to the windows.
