Fysshers Croft

Fysshers Croft is a house that was once connected with the Warwick Almshouses. It dates from before 1476 but was altered in the mid-19th century and modernised after a fire. The building is constructed of rubble, with the front range having a slated roof and the rear covered with Cotswold stone. It has a roughly L-shaped plan, with the front part being two storeys high and featuring two 19th-century sash windows that have single vertical glazing bars. The central door has been converted into a window, and there are traces of a Tudor arch doorway, similar to those found on the Warwick Almshouses to the right.

The rear includes a 19th-century gable and a barn-like wing that has three large stepped buttresses and two 17th-century wooden cross-mullion windows, which are believed to represent the rear hall and chapel range of an almshouse arrangement. Inside, there are two fine pairs of upper crucks in the rear wing, with stairs located in the angle. The ground floor of the front range features massive moulded cross-beams that are heavily coloured red, along with a fine and wide inserted 16th-century Tudor arch fireplace. Archaeological evidence suggests that this house predates the Warwick Almshouses and indicates that it was adapted as the warden's lodging, complete with a hall and chapel.
