Description

These are five almshouses built in 1603 and rebuilt around 1870. They are constructed from carstone with gault brick dressings and feature a slate roof. The buildings are single-storey with three gabled porches, each having double arches that are evenly spaced. The windows are 2-light arched with Gothic Y tracery. There is a hollow dentil eaves cornice, and the gabled roof has ridge stacks that carry paired diamond flues.
