Jakenett'S Almshouses

Jakenett's Almshouses, located on King Street, were built in 1790, although they have undergone some later alterations. The building is constructed of grey gault brick with red brick dressings and stands two storeys high, featuring four windows in the block, which are three-light Gothic casements. The entrance is marked by panelled Gothic doors, and the roof is covered with pantiles. There are two plaques on the building that commemorate Thomas Jakenett and his wife, noting the original foundation date of 1469 and the rebuilding in 1790. Jakenett's Almshouses are part of a group that includes Nos 46 to 58 (even), Nos 62 to 86 (even), and Nos 90 and 94.
