Hartwell Almshouses

A row of three almshouses is located on Cranfield High Street. The almshouses were founded in 1734 by will of Richard Hartwell, and rebuilt in 1834. They are constructed of yellow gault brick, with a thatched roof. The building is single-storeyed and features a symmetrical front elevation. Three thatched gabled porches front the property, each with a four-centred arched door and a moulded label above. Between each porch are two two-light windows, also with four-centred arched heads and diamond leading, each topped with a moulded label of painted timber. Two double-ridge stacks are present, each with pairs of moulded octagonal shafts linked at the caps.
