Description
A complex of housing for the elderly, now flats, arranged around a central courtyard, was built in 1837. The building is constructed of brown brick with stone dressings and has a low-pitched slate roof with a parapet to the street front, with battlements over the central three-bay section. It is designed in a Tudor style.
The exterior has two storeys and a nine-bay front, with octagonal, battlemented turrets at the corners of the central, three-bay projecting section. The central bay projects further, with stepped buttresses at the corners. A large, Tudor-style entrance is centered, with a plaque reading "Aged Pilgrims' House completed by voluntary contribution AD1837. Modernised in 1961. The freehold given by William Peacock Esquire." Hood moulds are positioned over the mullioned and transomed windows in the central section, with those on the first floor in a Gothic style; other windows are two- and three-light mullions with splayed reveals and flat brick arches. A stucco string runs between the floors, and a moulded cornice tops the facade.
An entrance to the courtyard is located beneath the chapel, with two storeys and six bays on each side. This section features paired entrances with Tudor arches and blank windows with hood moulds above. A projecting, pedimented entrance feature is opposite the main entranceway. The windows are two- and three-light mullioned, with stone surrounds and splayed reveals.
The interior was not inspected.
