Description
Worsley's Almshouses, built in 1618, are located on the south side of Crocker Street in Newport. The building was re-roofed and had porches added in 1879, as indicated by a date plaque in the gable of the center porch. It is a single-storey structure made of old red brick, raised on a high rendered plinth. The gable end has a tile roof featuring two bands of scalloped tiles, with older tiles on the rear. The windows are wood frame casements with leaded diamond panes. There are rough cast wood frame porches on chequer brick bases, with steps on each side and lean-to roofs over paired doors. The center porch is gabled and topped with a finial.
