Description
Deanes Almshouses, built in 1607, are endowed homes for eight poor widows and continue to serve this purpose. The building features a symmetrical façade with one storey and an attic, comprising eight windows. It has a stoop tile roof with four tall shafted stacks and six hipped roof dormers that enclose three-light easements, all positioned at eaves level. The walls are made of painted brick in English bond, with a plinth and four-light ground floor casements in heavy frames. There are coupled doors with heavy wooden frames. A prominent feature of the building is the gabled centre, which has a panel with a heraldic device in relief between two windows, topped by a cornice and a moulded base. Below this is a lettered panel that refers to the foundation by James Deane in 1608. The rear of the building has modern outshots and dormers, while the irregular rear elevations from the Red Lion Public House to No. 36a contain many original features.
