Description
The almshouses at Seckford Terrace were built in 1852 on the site of earlier almshouses from 1587 and a nurses' house from 1778. They were rebuilt and extended in 1869 by James Noble. The building features a symmetrical design with two storeys and a five-window centre that is slightly advanced, including a central window set in a slight break forward with a gable above. There are one-storey, four-window wings on each side. The structure is made of red brick with yellow dressings at the quoins and a yellow brick toothed eaves band. The entrances are adorned with anointed arches, and the roofs are tiled.
