Mann Memorial Almshouses

The Mann Memorial Almshouses, built between 1899 and 1902, were erected by Mrs. Mann of Hyde Hall as a memorial to her husband and son. The building is a single-storey structure located facing into the churchyard and is designed in the Tudor Gothic style, featuring knapped flint walling with stone dressings and gabled slate roofs.

The symmetrical east front has a recessed centre flanked by gabled wings. A higher central gable interrupts the parapet, adorned with kneelers and an upright oval panel carved with a fishing rod, two barbed hooks, a float, and a fish. The design includes moulded stone quoins, drip moulds, and two two-light, mullioned and transomed windows at the centre, along with canted four-light oriel windows at the front of each wing. The tall chimneys have decorative bases and caps.

Lean-to slate and timber open porches are positioned at the angles and a similar central porch, each supported by low masonry piers with flint set flush with the stone quoins and coping. The entrances feature plank doors with pointed arched openings. The north and south flanks have similar drip moulds and cross windows.

At the rear, there are outbuildings surrounding a yard covered by a glass and iron roof. A red brick wall with gate piers along Vantorts Road features moulded terra cotta copings, while a low stone and flint wall marks the boundary of the churchyard, which previously had railings. This elaborate small almshouse is part of a group with the parish church.
