Description
The almshouses in Stoke-by-Nayland are a range of late 19th-century buildings made of red brick, located about 60 yards northeast of the Church of St Mary. They are arranged in an L-shaped plan, with wings extending to the west and south. The west wing slightly projects at the center and features a gable with a stone panel inscribed with the date 1875. The building is single-storey, with the west wing having a window arrangement of 2:2:2, while the south wing has a 2-window range with 3-light casements that include stone dressings. The roof is tiled and has four Tudor-style chimney stacks, each with two diagonal shafts. The gables are adorned with ornamental bargeboards. These almshouses are included for their group value.
