The Leather Sellers Almshouses are an early 19th-century complex of buildings, constructed of white brick in a Gothic style, forming three sides of a square. The northern block was built around 1837. A mid-Victorian chapel was inserted into the central block. The almshouses feature decorative chimneys and ironwork gates.
