Description
Long Alley Almshouses were built by the Fraternity of the Holy Cross in 1446. This row of single-storey stone buildings features the Guildhall in the centre and has brick stacks. In front, there is a long oak cloister walk dating from around 1500, which was enhanced by three elaborate 17th-century porches with painted panels created by Sampson Strong of Oxford in 1605. At the same time, the Hall was panelled, and a stone mullioned bay window was added to the garden side, along with a fine octagonal lantern on the hall roof, which was repaired in 1707. Long Alley Almshouses, along with Twitty's Almshouses, Brick Alley Almshouses, and the Church of St Helen, form a cohesive group.
