Description
The Almshouse, originally built in 1629 under the terms of the will of Sir Charles Lister (who died in 1613) by his godson Lister Blount, is now divided into two houses. It is an early 17th-century building with 20th-century additions to the rear. The building is constructed of red brick with a plain tile roof and brick end stacks. It is single-storied and has a 6-window range. In the centre are two plank doors, each with a 4-centre arch, chamfered stone surround. To the left and right of the central doors are two 2-light stone mullion windows with leaded glass. Flanking these are further plank doors with matching 4-centre arch, chamfered stone surrounds, and a pair of similar 2-light stone mullioned windows. An archway is located to the left. The interior has not been inspected.
