Former Almshouses, Now Part Of Sutton Valence School

The former almshouses, now part of Sutton Valence School, consist of a row of six almshouses founded in 1574 by William Lambe. They were restored after a fire between 1909 and 1910. The buildings are constructed from small blocks of coursed stone and feature a plain tile roof. They are one storey high with an attic, set on a moulded plinth, and have a moulded wooden eaves cornice. The front has six hipped dormers and a regular arrangement of six windows, each consisting of two-light chamfered stone mullion windows with four-centred arched lights. Each pair of doors has a window flanking it, with intervals between each group. There are six chamfered four-centred arched stone doorways arranged in pairs, with two towards each end and two in the centre, all featuring ribbed doors. A coat of arms with achievements is set towards the centre. The interiors have not been inspected.
