Henry Bridge'S Almshouses

Henry Bridge's Almshouses are a row of almshouses built in 1720 and restored in the 20th century. They are constructed of brown brick with red brick dressings and feature a plain tiled roof with rendered coping on the gables. The building has two storeys and a plat band above the ground floor, consisting of twelve bays. The central four bays project and are topped with a pediment that has wooden moulding. The first floor has six casement windows, while the windows in the first, fourth, fifth, eighth, ninth, and twelfth bays are blocked. The ground floor windows are set under cambered heads. There are six ribbed and boarded doors beneath identical trellis porches with pentice roofs on the ground floor. A square wooden sundial, dated 1720, is located in the pediment tympanum.

On the first floor, there are two stone plaques in the center. The upper plaque is inscribed: "EX DONO/ HENRICA BRIDGES GEN/ DOWN MANOR Y DE IMWORTH/ ATS IMBER COURT/ ANNO DOM 1720," while the lower plaque records the renovation of 1925. Additionally, there is a metal plaque below that commemorates the restoration of 1977.
