Description
The Feoffee Almshouses, located at 744 Church Street, consist of seven consecutive dwellings that have been restored over various dates. The west range features three dwellings and a 19th-century Gothic arched entrance, with one dwelling to the south that has gables above, providing light to an attic. Each dwelling has a plain door and one window, with some featuring diamond leaded casements. An older section, possibly from the 16th century, is situated at the north-west corner and is half-timbered, displaying an overhanging upper storey that juts out on a curved wooden corner post strut. Some brickwork in English bond is visible at the back, and the building has a tiled roof. The north range is largely of later construction, likely not earlier than the 18th century, made of brick and with a slate roof. The Feoffee Almshouses, along with Nos 34 and 36 Little Dynevor and the Parish Church of St Andrews, form a cohesive group.
